School Voucher Groups Avoid Vouchers in New Mailers

Quorum Report’s Scott Braddock reports that mailers sent to constituents of Reps. Caroline Harris of Williamson County and Angie Chen Button of Richardson by the American Federation of Children completely omit the fact they were sent on behalf of a pro-school voucher organization.
