Texas Parent PAC Supports Winning Candidates!

Children, parents, and neighborhood public schools were big winners on November 4, 2008, as many legislators were elected who are committed to strengthening public education. This was partly due to the efforts of Texas Parent PAC, a bipartisan statewide political committee formed in 2005 with the goal of electing more state legislators who will stand up for children and high quality public schools.

Texas Parent PAC provided funding to help candidates in many ways, including direct mail, TV and radio advertising, phone banks, and yard signs, as well as volunteers who worked in many aspects of the campaigns.

Following is a list of endorsed candidates who won the general election.
