A multimillion-dollar push to replace Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas House Republicans with more strident conservatives made little headway in the state's 2022 primary election.
Four of the candidates that the PAC supported for open seats made it to runoffs.
Klick said in a statement that she is “energized and ready to set the record straight” in the runoff. Despite the potential for runoff combat, Phelan’s team was still relieved Tuesday not to lose any incumbents. They got a scare late Tuesday night when state Rep.of Denton slipped below 50% against his challenger, Andy Hopper, who had the support of Defend Texas Liberty. But Stucky ultimately recovered and was winning by 102 votes as of Thursday afternoon.
Some of the open-seat runoffs could pose a challenge for Phelan. The House District 63 runoff pits Ben Bumgarner, a member of the Flower Mound Town Council, against Jeff Younger, a vocal critic of leadership’s perceived inaction on the transgender children issue that Abbott and Paxton have recentlySome of the incumbent runoffs could be more nuanced given that they were spawned by redistricting, not necessarily fights over ideology or chamber leadership.
In his concession statement, Huffines claimed credit for pushing Abbott to the right over the past year.
