Postscript to the look at spending for the recent Richardson ISD election for board of trustees. There was a new player involved in the money race that I didn't mention, that I didn't see mentioned elsewhere, one that I wasn't even aware was a player until after the election. That's North Texas Parents for Academic Excellence. It's a nonprofit corporation formed March 16, 2022, with three directors, Brandon Walls, Bryan Stone, and Sam Jarvis. If the name Brandon Walls is familiar, it might be because he's the Campaign Treasurer for the Richardson ISD Families First PAC. I was very aware of that PAC's involvement in the election. What's curious about the connection between the nonprofit and PAC?

the green double-breasted pinstripe suit he’d worn the day he entered
America, his ability to impress a man he’d never met was all he could
think about. Try as he might, he could do nothing but think about the
questions he might be asked, the answers he would need to give, the
way he would have to walk and talk and sit, the times he would need to
speak or listen and nod, the things he would have to say or not say,
the response he would need to give if asked about his legal status in
the country."
