Her politically motivated “endorsements” DO NOT vouch for qualifications, but rather prove her participation in cronyism and nepotism.
Endorsements are supposed to be certifications of a candidate’s qualifications and integrity, based on vetting interviews of all the eligible candidates, and conducted by reputable organizations that voters rely on to give unbiased recommendations. However, before the deadline date for all of the candidates to file their paperwork to run for the HD70 seat had even closed, and more candidates were yet to enter the race, the liberal leaning realtor super PAC (TREPAC) endorsed Jolly without conducting a vetting interview. They even refused to allow any of the other candidates even a chance for an endorsement interview! So how did she get the endorsement and accompanying obscene amount of $75,000 in campaign “donations” without even undergoing a vetting interview? The endorsement was unethically handed to her, because her husband is the highest office holder in the TREPAC! The definition of nepotism is: the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends. If she participates in this kind of unfair and corrupt cronyism now, what kind of self-serving and self-enriching deals would she cut in Austin if elected? Collin County needs an unbiased representative who will not need to recuse herself based on the dangerous conflict of interest that her husband’s high position in the state’s largest and most powerful lobbying PAC would cause.
Most of her “endorsements” are from labor union lobbyists, who are spending tons of money to get her elected. What are they expecting in return? Go to the Texas Ethics Commission to see all of her campaign finance filings:

Lawsuit alleges public funds are being used for union business.: https://texasscorecard.com/local/tppf-union-business-leave-unconstitutional/
Some excerpts from the above article show that the Fire Fighter’s Association (a labor union) has a loophole that allows them to use public funds for union business (including obscene donations to liberal candidates and pays for members to blockwalk or pollgreet for candidates) :
City taxpayers have been forced to foot the bill for several years’ worth of union activities, according to a lawsuit filed last week. . . municipalities around the country grant a direct subsidy to public sector union employees known as, “release time.” Also known as “association business leave,” or “union leave,” this allows employees to take time to perform union activities without experiencing any loss in pay. According to a report by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the City of Austin paid for 27,820 hours of union, “release time.” According to Watchdog, that adds up to $821,313 paid out for union workers. TPPF alleges that this constitutes a gift, and therefore violates the Texas Constitution. . . “taxpayer-funded practice that diverts firefighters away from some of the most crucial services, and instead places them under the direction and control of a private labor organization for its own use and benefit,” the lawsuit argues. “Indeed, not only do the majority of release time activities not advance a public purpose, they are often directly opposed to the interests of Austin and Austin taxpayers.” It is unclear exactly how much city taxpayers around the state are forced to pay for unions to conduct their own business. Considering that their goals are often at odds with the interests of taxpayers, perhaps it’s time to end the practice altogether.
Excerpts from another article about Firefighters Associations: https://mail.aol.com/b/folders/1/messages/ADbqyTJVZBMnYmpzRwk3YBezxa4?folderType=INBOX&accountIds=1&offset=0&unblockNow=false
The endorsement in question is from the Austin Firefighters Association. Sounds innocuous, right? In fact, the “association” has a long history of aligning with the most radical leftists elements of politics—including groups tied to leftist billionaire George Soros and current congressional candidate Greg Casar (a self-proclaimed socialist).
Most recently, the firefighters association joined Casar and a panoply of Soros-backed organizations in their “defund the police” efforts. In 2016, conservative think tank Texas Public Policy Foundation sued the firefighters association for receiving unconstitutional subsidies from the city to pursue political activity aligned with city hall.
Here is a closer look at the top 10 PACS: https://www.transparencyusa.org/article/a-closer-look-top-10-pacs-of-the-2018-election-season
ART (Associated Republicans of Texas) donated over $100K to Jolly campaign so far. ART is for allowing business to continue to use cheap illegal aliens labor (against requiring all business to use free E-Verify) and they are for amnesty for 13 to 15 Million illegal aliens. This contrary to the Republican platform. ART gives to corrupt/crony Rep. Charile Geren and former corrupt/crony Joe Straus gave over $350K to ART.
TREPAC (Texas Realtors PAC) donated over $55K to to Jolly campaign so far. TREPAC is for allowing business to continue to use cheap illegal aliens labor (against requiring all business to use free E-Verify) and they are for amnesty for 13 to 15 Million illegal aliens. As President of Plano Chamber of Commerce for over 10 years, Jolly did nothing to get business to use the free E-Verify program to reduce the jobs magnet attracting illegal aliens to Texas. There are now over 1 to 2 million illegal aliens in Texas. Realtors like Jolly are not concerned about protecting jobs for legal Americans, because cheap illegal alien labor and massive immigration that makes them rich.
Plano Firefighters Committee for EG donated $25K to Jolly campaign so far. They almost always support Democrats in Plano, even hard left candidates like Ann Bacchus. They are not a Republican group so this is another huge red flag.
See her attached Campaign Finance Report to see that see the above 3 PACs gave her over $200K.
