Collin County has long been a Republican stronghold that’s home to conservatives like impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. But there are divisions among local Republicans — and Democrats may be gaining a foothold.Texas House Republicans from Collin County — all five of them — said in a joint statement soon afterwards that there was sufficient evidence to impeach Paxton. And that was how they had voted.
This isn’t the first time Republicans in Collin County have found themselves on opposite sides of a polarizing issue. Several Republican precinct chairs, including Clint Pruett of McKinney, Joseph Harwell of Plano and Joe Cruz of Princeton, spoke to the Republican commissioners court, repeating false claims about 2020 election fraud. Precinct chairs help promote the party and the election of Republicans to office.
“There's no way to stop this progression,” Milne said. “It's not only a demographic problem, but a shifting attitudes problem.” Hundreds of protesters from Collin County spoke out against gun violence and legislators who don’t support gun reforms after the shooting. The protesters chanted “vote them out” throughout the rally and called out lawmakers by name, including Leach.
