Got an unsolicited text ad for Susan Cox (Town Council Place 5). After unsubscribing I identified the sender as Texas Families First PAC, an Austin-based organization with no connection to Flower Mound.

I pulled their TEC filings (Filer ID 00086998). The PAC is run by Elliott Griffin, an Austin consultant who routes all spending through his own firm, Griffin Communications LLC. Key donor is Monty Bennett, a Dallas mega-donor with over $2.5 million in Texas conservative PAC contributions, focused heavily on school board races.

Their candidate is Susan Cox. Her 30-day campaign finance report, filed late, shows zero contributions and a $5,000 personal loan to herself. No outside donors. Meanwhile an Austin PAC is running her text campaign. She is also the only Place 5 candidate who declined to sign the Code of Fair Campaign Practices, a basic honesty pledge all three were asked to sign. Verify both at flowermound.gov/1077.

If you want answers, the candidate forum is tomorrow night, April 15, 7 p.m., Flower Mound Town Hall. Streamed and recorded.

Early voting April 20-28. Election Day May 2.
