Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking steps to shake up who wins the GOP primary elections after his impeachment acquittal in the Senate. He's now seeking to push out Republican state representatives who voted to impeach him earlier this year.
Texas Rep. Shawn Thierry, D-Houston, said she's seeking re-election for a fifth term to represent House District 146 in south Houston. However, she'll have to fend off the most challengers she's ever faced to win her party's nomination for this reliably blue seat.
It’s been just over two months since the Texas Education Agency replaced the elected board and superintendent of Houston’s public school system with hand-picked managers. As major reforms sweep the district, many parents and educators are worried about losing intergenerational connections in their public schools.
