Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday endorsed 58 Texas House Republicans running for reelection, all of whom sided with him on a key vote days earlier in his yearlong push for school vouchers.
The endorsement list appears to be Abbotts first move to make good on his threats to oppose House Republicans who blocked his agenda on the issue.
Each of these House Republicans are proven fighters, and I am proud to endorse every one of these strong conservatives who are seeking reelection, Abbott said in a statement. I encourage Texans to join me in supporting them for re-election so we can pass school choice for all Texas families and continue to build a safer, brighter, and more prosperous Texas of tomorrow."
The endorsements come three days after the House voted to remove a voucher-like program from a wide-ranging education package. It was the most resounding rebuke yet of Abbotts crusade for school choice that has now prompted four special sessions.
