Anti-LGBT legislator running for state senate failed to disclose ties with conservative non-profit

A vocally anti-LGBT Republican state representative failed to disclose his affiliation with a socially conservative non-profit organization.

State Rep. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, has failed to list his leadership role on the board of the Wilberforce and Lincoln Center, Inc. in his six most recent personal financial statements.

Hughes has been affiliated with the Waco-based center since 2008, according to records filed with the secretary of state.

James William Odom, a Baylor University graduate student and former spokesman for the university, founded Wilberforce and Lincoln. Odom, Hughes, Oklahoma oil and gas executive Jerome Loughridge and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was then a state representative, were all listed as directors of the organization.
