The far-right political action committee is getting involved in a critical special election for the Texas House, the first major test of its influence since its then-leader was spotted meeting with a prominent white supremacist.
Republicans Jill Dutton and Brent Money are running in a special election for state House District 2 seat, empty since former state Rep. Brian Slaton, R-Royse City, was expelled from the House.Defend Texas Liberty PAC, the far-right group under fire for hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes, is getting involved in a critical special election for the Texas House, the first major test of its influence since the Fuentes controversy.
The PAC was a top supporter of Paxton as the House impeached him in May and then the Senate acquitted him last month. It gave $3 million to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick as he was preparing to preside over the trial, funding that Phelan called out after the acquittal.reported While Money has the support of the Defend Texas Liberty universe, Dutton has the backing of groups that align with House leadership more often than not, such as Texans for Lawsuit Reform and the Associated Republicans of Texas. Paxton especially blamed Texans for Lawsuit Reform for instigating his impeachment, a charge it has denied.
Two voters, who asked not to be named, said they got phone calls this week where a person rattled off attacks against Dutton and then asked them to support Money. One of the voters said the person identified themselves as representing Defend Texas Liberty, while the other voter said they did not catch the start of the call.
