1/9.👋 Howdy #RRISD1Family! Remember I said it's "mostly unknown" where the💵collected for Vanessa's fictitious👶 went? I'd bet you an anonymous $50 PAC donation it went to @TheLibertyDan's Upstart Strategies LLC & #JailhouseJill as @educationrrisd political expenditures in 06/22

2/9. Lets do a refresher first: #TerribleTwo Trustees aren't up for reelection until 2024 & they only need 2 more board seats occupied by their candidates to have a @roundrockisd voting majority. #RRISD1CrimeFamily already has the #HateSlate covered.

3/9. Trustees Weston & Bone know from experience that a PAC as dirty as One Family wasn't going to go over well with all #RRISD voters & an independent looking "grassroots" PAC is needed to promote a few of the same candidates.🥁... Enter yellow-shirt wearing Focus on Education.

4/9. Per Election Code Sec. 254.031(1), GPACs only have to report names/addresses for donors if their individual contributions exceed $50 in aggregate.🧐Well, @educationrrisd's semi July CFR report includes pages & pages worth of donations that look exactly like this one👇.

5/9. Included in the same report & substantially close in time we have two transactions reported as non-political expenditures: 1) 6/22 to Dan Taylor's company Upstart Strategies as a polling expense & 2) 6/28 to Jill Farris for the yellow printed Focus on Education t-shirts.

6/9. We know the date of the payment to #JailhouseJill can't be exactly right, but as long as it works on paper it doesn't really matter. By this point @educationrrisd knew they weren't going to endorse her or it likely would be listed as a non-monetary (in-kind) contribution.

7/9. @educationrrisd members (including Jill Farris, Stephanie Hughes & @2fight4liberty) spend the whole summer wearing them & building up their image as a "grassroots organization" of mad moms at #rrisd board meetings before the FoE candidate forum & endorsements in late August.

8/9 In the mean time Round Rock One Family forms as the vehicle for dark money donations in June, they file as a domestic nonprofit corporation on 7/20/22, & announce their candidate endorsements on 7/28/22, which was the plan all along.

9/9. 2 PACs, 3 overlapping candidates, 2 wild card candidates, Don Zimmerman & 1 single purpose - securing a majority on the @roundrockisd school board for #TerribleTwo Trustees #DanielleWeston & #MaryBone so they can turn our district into a complete disaster before #txlege 2023
