Realtors Back Ogle in State House Race

TYLER — The Greater Tyler Association of Realtors says it’s backing Skip Ogle for the Texas House. Ogle is running against incumbent Matt Schaefer. According to KETK, the same group backed Schaefer in 2012. But they weren’t pleased with Schaefer’s representation or his unavailability when they traveled to Austin for a face to face. The association spoke with both candidates before making an endorsement. The realtors presented the Ogle campaign with a $10,000 check. Schaefer responded by saying he’s had a good relationship with many realtors in the Tyler area, and that he’s been supportive of favorable polices to the real estate business. Schaefer also said he’s very accessible to the community.
