The results of Tuesday’s primary elections could foreshadow a further push to the right for the body that sets the state's educational standards.
State Board of Education member Patricia Hardy lost the Republican nomination for the seat to youth pastor Brandon Hall during Tuesday's primary elections.A 20-year Republican member of the State Board of Education lost her party’s nomination to a challenger who promises to fight for Christian conservative values and two other Republican incumbents are headed into a runoff, potentially foreshadowing a continued shift to the right for the body that sets the state’s educational standards.
In District 12, which covers parts of North Texas, the incumbent, Pam Little, faced off against three challengers and is now headed to a runoff against Jamie Kohlmann, a former Miss Texas who received an endorsement from U.S. Sen. Hardy, Bone and Kohlmann couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon. Hall and Maynard responded but did not share a comment on the election results before publication.
“I think many people just vote for a name on the ballot because they come to the polls for a different campaign. I would say about 40% to 50% of the votes are just people picking a name,” Little said. “That will be different in the runoff because they will be voting for a purpose, specifically this race.”
