Parent PAC Recruiting Opponent For Craddick Lieutenant Phil King

Via the Weatherford Democrat, Carolyn Boyle’s Parent PAC is hard at work tying to convince former Weatherford ISD Superintendent and Weatherford Mayor Joe Tison to run against Craddick lieutenant Rep. Phil King (R-Weatherford):

Though Tison wasn’t ready to name the organization that called him, Carolyn Boyle, director of the statewide political action committee, Texas Parent PAC, confirmed she has been talking to the mayor of Weatherford.

Boyle said she learned about Tison when several parents living in Weatherford contacted her organization. After getting to know him, she said Tison is the kind of leader Texas deserves.

“He has terrific experience and abilities,” she said. “A person who has served as mayor as well as school superintendent has dealt with many public policy issues. He’s also a true leader; he brings people together.”

All of the pro-public school incumbent candidates receiving Texas Parent PAC contributions and/or an endorsement won their general election races in 2006, and the Parent PAC endorsed 11 candidates who won open seats or in challenges to incumbents, the group’s Web site claims.

Tison’s response to Texas Parent PAC: “I told them that I would think about it, pray about it, and that I would seek advice from others, and that at an appropriate time, I would let them know. And I haven’t even decided about that appropriate time.”

Tison will have to announce before early January if he plans to run. Tison is a Republican.
