3. North Texas GOP calls on elected officials to ‘speak up’

Despite denials from TENT of any involvement in the campaign, Julie Schmoker of the Collin County GOP in North Texas says she believes the organization is simply backpedaling after making a “critical legal faux pas.”

“I believe Transgender Network (transtexas) did this,” Schmoker told CP on Tuesday. “They realized they made a critical legal faux pas and they're crying foul.”

While Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach has already called on Paxton’s office to investigate, Schmoker said it’s time for “elected officials” to get involved.

“Our elected officials are the ones need to speak up with their plan of action and investigate,” she said.
