Yesterday, at least six conservative board members who were leading efforts to ban books or limit LGBTQ rights were removed from their positions.
In the Grapevine Colleyville school district, near Fort Worth, voters removed three right-wing board members who were promoting explicitly Christian teachings in public schools.
In Lake Travis, two board members who supported book bans lost their re-election bids.
In Mansfield, another area where book bans were heavily pushed, right-wing candidate Courtney Lackey Wilson lost her race, making her the fourth MAGA supporter to lose her seat in the district since 2025.
This shows that people in Texas are growing tired of the extreme views and prejudice coming from the Republican Party and the MAGA movement — and they are ready to express their views at the polls.
With strong candidates like former school president and state legislator Gina Hinojosa challenging Greg Abbott, and progressive pastor James Talarico facing John Cornyn, we are in a better position than ever to make Blexas (Blue Texas) a reality.
