4 things to know about mysterious transgender student mailers in Texas
4. Controversy impacts run-up to Election Day
The mailers have served as a sort of “October surprise” for the upcoming midterm elections, spurring calls from Leach and other Republicans, including candidate Jon Bonck, who's running in Texas’ 38th Congressional District, urging the attorney general's office to investigate.
In a social media post on Sunday, Bonck, who identifies as a Christian conservative, called the mailer “disgusting and evil,” adding: “Are they hoping that children get their hands on this before their parents? The radical left is trying to brainwash Texan children and unravel the basic framework of our society. No more. This has to be stopped.”
The campaigns of Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico both said they had no involvement with the mailer.
A CP review found no response to the mailers from any prominent Democratic leaders.
