November 14, 2017 5:21 PM TAB sets sights on rebuilding pro-business Legislature, one primary race at a time “There has been an attitude as long as the Republican Party had a majority, that we could all show up in the general election. We didn’t have to be so involved in the primaries…But our board realizes those days are gone” A
lawmaker report card is only one of a number of steps the
Texas
Association of Business is ready to take to make sure the 86th
legislature is not another anti-business session. Business
leaders say they too often saw lawmakers working at cross purposes with them on
key
business issues: a pitched battle over the so-called bathroom bill; another
round of sanctuary cities legislation; and an attempt to reverse course on
incentive programs under Chapter 313. TAB,
like many non-profit associations, keeps something of a firewall between its
PAC and its membership, but the board’s new mandate is clear: Get active in the
Republican primaries. So CEO Jeff Moseley is doubling down on the fundamentals.
