My two biggies this year are Cornyn and Dewhurst. Both MUST go.

I voted for Stovall and Staples in those races.

If you are here in Texas, you should know that governor doesn't really matter. The governor has less actual power than the Lt. Governor.

The governor in Texas can't even pardon someone without getting permission from a board first.

Yes, I moved here in 1992, so I've been here long enough to know the Governor is mostly a face, but one that can get elected to the presidency. The LtGov is the workhorse that get things done.

Mostly, I'm concerned about this big expensive brochure published by the TX Conservative Review that is endorsing people I was not leaning towards voting for, i.e. Barry Smitherman for Atty Gen. I'm thinking of voting for Ken Paxton for Atty Gen. I think this is an extremely important position in these times of Fed over reach. The other thing I've learned is that the Railroad Commissioner has a lot of clout and they are endorsing Malachi Boyuls, when I was leaning towards Wayne Christian. If any TX Freepers have any insight on these endorsements, I have open ears. Thanks in advance for any info.

BTW the brochure states that they have endorsed "the most conservative candidate in each contest."

True. The Lt. Gov. in Texas is the most powerful person in the State. Staples is the best choice. A lot of FReepers are in love with Dan Patrick but he is in bed with the “good ol’ boys” in Texas politics and he does NOT like Ted Cruz. He did not make a formal endorsement, but, he was 100% for Dewhurst in the race between him and Ted Cruz.
