Abbott pushing for school choice by supporting primary challengers to GOP legislators who voted against his voucher bill.

Paxton supporting challengers to GOP legislators who voted to impeach him. Also supported challengers to GOP Texas Supreme Court to replace them with more compliant judges. Possibly since he made need to appeal his possible securities fraud conviction and potential bribery indictment.

Patrick, just wants more power. GOP Speaker of the House now in a primary run off .

They all just want to wield supreme executive power.
