Texas Governor Greg Abbott successfully mobilized primary voters to remove Republican legislators who opposed legislation enabling state funds for private school tuition. Abbott’s campaign against dissenters signals his stance on loyalty and prioritizing voucher policies. With supportive candidates likely to win in the general election, Abbott aims to secure enough votes to pass voucher legislation, a goal aligned with longstanding efforts by Christian conservative donors and advocacy groups like the Texas Public Policy Foundation. This shift marks a significant development in national voucher advocacy, overcoming historical resistance in Texas, a pivotal state in educational policy discussions.
