WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The ongoing rift between State Rep. Pat Curry and an out-of-state conservative activist is widening as the activist and his political action committee are spending thousands of dollars to recruit a primary opponent for Curry.

The conflict between Curry, Waco’s District 56 House representative, and Chris Ekstrom, a former congressional candidate from Wichita Falls who recently moved to Coral Springs, Florida, erupted during Curry’s successful bid last year to succeed longtime State Rep. Doc Anderson.
