Groups on both sides of school choice survey the lay of the land after the primary runoffs

Taking stock of their clout as the dust settles from the primary season

Those who support “school choice” proposals will see some new friendly faces at the Texas Capitol after at least five candidates who share their views were victorious in their primary runoffs. But as you might imagine, groups across the ideological spectrum claimed victory after the results were tallied Tuesday night.

Michael Quinn Sullivan, who speaks for Tim Dunn’s Empower Texans, called the election results the end of the careers for Republican Texas House members with whom his boss disagrees. But Texas Parent PAC, a frequent target of Dunn’s, called this election season the best results ever for their group with five additional wins in the run-off.
