Two Round Rock Independent School District board members are facing calls to return thousands of campaign dollars they received from a political group, following news of the former president of the group meeting with a widely known white supremacist, antisemitic podcaster.
Slates of conservative candidates endorsed by the Republican Party of Texas failed to flip school boards in several suburban races across Texas, including in Round Rock and Wylie.
Political action committees don't typically get involved in local school board races. But money and endorsements from local, state and national PACs ultimately helped determine the results of school board races in Round Rock and Leander.
