Dear Arthur,
Tuesday night was a HUGE night for conservatives!
Many conservatives won their primaries outright or advanced to the runoff in Texas’ primary election. Club for Growth PAC is proud to endorse two of those candidates.
In Texas’ 5th Congressional District, Bunni Pounds came in second Tuesday night with 22% of the vote, just behind her runoff opponent Lance Gooden who took 30% of the vote.
Club for Growth members may recall that Club for Growth Action was active in the primary, educating voters about Lance Gooden’s horrendous record of supporting higher taxes and fees.
In contrast, Bunni Pounds is a small businesswoman with a record of commitment as a fiscal conservative. She has also been endorsed by many local Texas conservative groups and leaders, such as Young Conservatives of Texas and retiring Congressman Jeb Hensarling (Club Score 95%).
Gooden is an UNACCEPTABLE candidate, a veritable moderate who would be terrible in Congress. In addition to his tax hikes, Gooden is a supporter of teacher unions and a strong opponent of school choice. His campaign is littered with contributions from unions and trial lawyers.
We have just over two months until the run-off on May 22nd. This is a safe Republican seat, so the winner of the run-off will likely win the general election. Please send your most generous contribution to Bunni Pounds' campaign today so we can defeat liberal, tax-hiking Lance Gooden, and we can send another hard-core economic conservative to Washington! |
