Unusual Interest in SBOE Races

The state Republican Party has become quite abuzz with the relatively late realization that AEA is apparently putting a lot of resources into GOP primary races in an attempt to unseat two State Board of Education members. Skip Smithwick is challenging Republican incumbent Stephanie Bell in SBOE District 3, and Paul Christopher is challenging Republican incumbent Randy McKinney in SBOE District 1.

You can see fairly transparently in the campaign finance reports the money going from AEA’s PAC (AVOTE) to Smithwick and Christopher with only a PAC-stop or two in between.
