I have been looking for a definitive list of Tea Party backed candidates to vote for in the primaries. This is a big problem that the lists differ down ballot and are hard to find. I don't even know what group is a real Tea Party group.

If we are to get rid of RINO's, we need a central list of people to vote for in the primaries. After the primary. it's too late, you get what you get. I'm losing Stockman as a congressman, and there is 9-10 others running for his spot. I also want to put some judges in the right places. Just having an "R" after your name is not enough for me.

Does anybody have any sugestions for East Texas candidates, especially dist. 36?

I'll be voting for Brian Babin otherwise, just because I know him. That doesn't mean he won't be a go along to get along guy cause I've never seen him under fire.

Hard to get a handle on some of these people. We’re in Brazoria County so some of our races are also more localized ones. Candidates I recommended to our group:
Governor - Abbott
Lt. Gov - Staples
AG - Paxton (primarily because of Cruz). Branch would be OK, Smitherman is a BIG NO!
Land Commissioner - Watts
RR Commissioner - Sitton
Senator - Probably Stovall
Comptroller, Ag Commissioner and Supreme Chief Justices are still up in the area.

The ballot down here is pages long with a lot of local races. Makes me wonder why we need so many political positions!!

not good enough just to be associated with the tea party....do your homework and find out what these people stand for.....vote for people that you won't be ashamed later to admit that you voted for them
