Texas GOP Primary Runoffs Secure Votes for School Choice in 2025, 69% Incumbents Defeated
May 29, 2024, 02:36 AM
In a significant political development, the Texas GOP primary runoffs have resulted in a decisive victory for school choice supporters. Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas legislature now has enough votes to pass a school choice measure. This outcome follows the defeat of 9 out of 13 anti-school choice GOP incumbents, a notable shift given that incumbents typically win 95% of the time. The primary results indicate strong voter support for school choice, which has become a litmus-test issue for Republicans. The next step will be determining the specifics of the school choice plan, whether it will be a universal or a limited and expensive voucher plan. The legislature needed to pick up 13 votes to secure this victory, and 69% of incumbents challenged were defeated. Texas is set to implement school choice in 2025.
