Newly filed campaign finance reports show candidates in two of Montgomery County's Republican primaries increasing fundraising and spending as the March election approaches.

Wayne Mack will face incumbent Mark Keough for Montgomery County judge in the Republican primary election, and Bob Harvey will face incumbent Charlie Riley for Montgomery County Precinct 2 commissioner. The reports cover activity primarily from July 2025 through Feb. 21, 2026. 

A closer look: Montgomery County judge incumbent Mark Keough reported raising $37,800 in total political contributions and spending $71,587 in total political expenditures during the most recent reporting period ending Feb. 21, according to filings.

Among itemized contributions in that filing, one of the largest listed was a $10,000 donation from the Texas Association of Realtors PAC, along with a loan to himself totaling $30,000.

Republican challenger Wayne Mack reported higher fundraising totals during the latest period, listing $139,308.98 in political contributions and $261,063.04 in political expenditures.

The Texas Education Agency must correct roughly 4,200 errors in its elementary and middle school curriculum, the State Board of Education ruled Feb. 25.

The overview: The changes to the Bluebonnet Learning materials, a set of state-developed textbooks, include replacing improperly licensed images, fixing formatting errors or typos and correcting factual errors.

The SBOE approved the Bluebonnet materials in November 2024. The curriculum, which became available to districts ahead of the 2025-26 school year, has been criticized for frequent biblical references in the reading materials, although proponents said the materials would help improve student outcomes.

Zooming in: Before approving the changes, several board members expressed concerns about the “unprecedented” number of issues with the state-developed textbooks, noting that Texas taxpayers will cover the costs of reprinting the updated materials, as they were developed with state funds.

“I’m very concerned that, as a board, we have set a precedent for sloppy publishing. Many times, even if it's a typo, it could become an error of fact,” SBOE member Pam Little, R-Fairview, said.
