Anti-School Choice Rep Faces Protest Outside His Home
Advocacy group Accuracy in Media called on Rep. Gary VanDeaver to support school choice ahead of his runoff primary election next week.
Adam Guillette, president of Accuracy in Media (AIM), traveled to New Boston to protest outside VanDeaver’s (R-New Boston) home and office building on Tuesday, demanding the lawmaker “stop doing the bidding of teachers unions.”
The group brought a truck to display signs stating that VanDeaver “likes tax dollars more than he likes taxpayers.”
Another sign spotlighted the headline of a story by The Dallas Express that exposed how VanDeaver took campaign donations from lobbyist groups tied to government entities. He previously voted against a bill to end taxpayer-funded lobbying in Texas.
“There is no doubt that this man is corrupt,” Guillette told The Dallas Express. “Taxpayer funding should be illegal. And for a supposed fiscal conservative to be involved in taxpayer lobbying and lobbying against the interests of his constituents, double dipping paychecks is morally outrageous.”
