Quotes from the announcement:

“There are absolutely people who were working in law or on school boards or as county commissioners or mayors and city councils and things like that. But, I don’t think, by any means, that it’s a prerequisite…I think we just need people who have good ideas and who are principled and who are willing to be able to call something that’s wrong, wrong,” Ohlemacher shared.

Speaking on Lambert’s record, Ohlemacher praised the long-time Texas Representative’s resolve in the face of opposition on multiple occasions. Ohlemacher specifically mentioned Lambert’s steadfast hold against Abbott and other republicans on the issue of School Choice or Vouchers, going on to say that the representative’s seeming acceptance of the Governor’s viewpoint recently felt like somewhat of a betrayal of Lambert’s usually steadfast stance..

“I appreciate his service. I think there’s a lot to be said for standing up in the face of that pressure for 10 years…”When he ran in 2024, he was coming off of standing up to the Governor in 2023 on school choice. He got a bunch of primary money that came against him in the form of Liz Case, and he won. And I was proud of that. Back in April, whenever he voted to pass school choice, I felt like there was a little bit of betrayal there.” Ohlemacher expressed.
