Texas Health Care Association PAC endorses Ben Leman for House District 13
Skilled nursing providers backing candidates who will stand up for Texas seniors
(AUSTIN, TEXAS) — The political action committee representing skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across Texas today announced their endorsement of former Grimes County Judge Ben Leman in the May 5 special election and May 22 Republican primary runoff for Texas House District 13.
“Decisions made in Austin help determine the quality of long term care across the state,” said Kevin Warren, president and CEO of the Texas Health Care Association. “The Texas Health Care Association PAC stands behind candidates who have indicated their willingness to stand up for senior Texans, and we are putting our support behind Ben Leman for House District 13.”
Gov. Greg Abbott called the May 5 special election to fill the unfinished term of former state Rep. Leighton Schubert, R-Caldwell.
The long term care industry employs more than 110,000 Texans, paying more than $4 billion in direct wages every year.
“Families with a loved one in a long term care facility should know that Ben Leman will be looking out for them in Austin,” Warren said. “THCAPAC works hard to make sure that’s the case.”
