2018 Republican and Democratic Candidates in Texas Are Receiving Donations from the NFLPA One Team PAC for the Midterm Election


Congressman Will Hurd (left), is a Republican incumbent running for re-election for the 23rd Congressional District of Texas, and Colin Allred (right), is a Democratic candidate challenging Republican incumbent Congressman Pete Sessions in the race for the 32nd Congressional District of Texas. Both Hurd and Allred recently received donations from the NFLPA One Team PAC to assist with their Tuesday, November 6, 2018, congressional bids in the Lone Star State.

NFL Players Have A Lot More on Thier Mind than Kneeling During the National Anthem in 2018; Non-Partisan Political Donations Are Starting to Flow into Texas Says Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS

I’ve said all along that kneeling at football games during the national anthem could only do so much as it pertains to beating back the injustices happening to African Americans and other minorities across America. Yes, protests have their place and have been very useful in the fight for civil rights. And Yes, protesting and petitioning the government can be effective at times. But getting involved in the political process is the best, and the most effective way to bring about lasting change in America. In that same vein, "CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM" and many of the other hot-button issues during this election cycle isn't some sort of fallacy. Nor does it have to be something that's talked about in terms of wishful thinking, or something sitting off somewhere in the Wild Blue Yonder. Nope, I'm of the opinion that we can bring about the lasting change we so desperately need and desire by making it our business to elect the "BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATES" who value us at the ballot box. And to this end, what the NFL Player’s Association PAC is doing in a non-partisan fashion should be commended as an awesome step in the right direction.

TWO TEXAS CONGRESSIONAL RACES

In case you don’t already know, the NFL Players Association PAC has sent $5,000 to Will Hurd, a Republican Congressman running for re-election for the 23rd Congressional District of Texas against Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. And they’ve also given the same amount of $5,000 to Colin Allred, the Democrat who is challenging Congressman Pete Sessions in his re-election bid for the 32nd Congressional District of Texas.

A FEW DONATIONS IN OTHER STATES

The NFLPA One Team PAC has also given Anthony Gonzalez, a Republican, money to assist him in his quest to win the seat being vacated by Congressman Jim Renacci in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District. Gonzales will be facing off against Democrat, Susan Moran Palmer on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also received donations from the NFLPA One Team PAC recently.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE EARLY

It is imperative that we make it our business to elect the “BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATES” who value our vote when we go to the polls. And don’t forget to vote early. The early voting period will begin on Monday, October 22, 2018, and end on Friday, November 2, 2018 – ALL VOTES MATTER!
