Additional Information About Texas Parent PAC Endorsements

●The Endorsement Process. Texas Parent PAC undertook a six-month effort to evaluate candidates, with about 50 PAC supporters involved in researching and interviewing candidates.  Rather than simply using a questionnaire to assess candidate viewpoints, the PAC interviewed each candidate for one to two hours, and some were interviewed multiple times.

● A Select Number.  Texas Parent PAC is only endorsing a select number of candidates because in some races: (1) there is more than one strong education advocate; (2) there is no candidate who we believe would be a consistent supporter for public education; (3) the preferred candidate does not have a viable campaign effort; (4) candidates did not seek Texas Parent PAC’s endorsement, as well as other reasons.  Endorsement of a select number allows the PAC to concentrate its financial resources and time.
