Texas Parent PAC Endorsements for 2024 General Election
Texas Parent PAC is delighted to endorse 13 state legislative candidates running in open seats or challenging incumbents who don’t support our public schools. The PAC also endorses 23 incumbent state senators and representatives who deserve re-election to continue their effective work for children, educators, and neighborhood public schools!
The endorsed candidates are a diverse collection of mature, proven leaders who seek to make Texas a better state. They will be strong advocates for public education at the state Capitol.
In each election cycle, bipartisan Texas Parent PAC endorses a select number of candidates from major political parties. Read about our endorsement process here.
