Kyle Kacal of College Station and Glenn Rogers of Graford - face challengers who would be reliable votes for school choice. Most notably, Abbott and Cruz are on opposite sides of two runoffs in which incumbents - state Reps. “He doesn’t hesitate to endorse and support candidates in primaries that will fight for school choice across Texas.” Cruz believes that school choice is the most important domestic issue in the country,” Cruz spokesperson Steve Guest said in a statement. But both are ambitious Republicans - each has left the door open to running for president in 2024 - and Cruz appears to be flexing his well-documented affinity for candidates who support school choice, a term Republicans have used for several years to describe programs that give parents state money to send their kids to schools outside of the state’s public education system. The dueling endorsements are raising eyebrows since Abbott and Cruz tend to align politically. Cruz had already endorsed a challenger to an Abbott-backed incumbent before the primary, tallying six total runoffs in which they are now on opposite sides. In recent days, Cruz has endorsed five opponents to Abbott-backed candidates in primary runoffs for the state House, all within a couple weeks after the governor announced his endorsement in each race. Ted Cruz are finding themselves increasingly at odds as they try to shape the next Republican majority in the Texas House, splitting their endorsements in a host of primary runoffs in which candidates appear to differ on “school choice.” Our year-end campaign starts now!
