TL;DR Summary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott vowed to campaign against anti-voucher GOP House members who blocked his priority voucher bill from passing into law last year, spending $4.4 million in the past month against incumbent House members and appearing repeatedly in their districts to endorse their opponents. However, six anti-voucher House GOP incumbents have managed to sidestep Abbott’s wrath, leaving their pro-voucher challengers wondering why they didn't receive the coveted Abbott nod. The reasons for Abbott's endorsement decisions remain unclear, with some speculating personal history, political strategy, or the risk of backing candidates unable to win against incumbents.
