Representative Dan Crenshaw Loses G.O.P. Primary in Texas

Steve Toth, a hard-line conservative Texas state representative, defeated Representative Dan Crenshaw in a close-fought Republican primary on Tuesday that will sweep from the House a former Navy SEAL who has occasionally broken with fellow Republicans, according to The Associated Press.

The race, in a strongly Republican district in the Houston area, was a referendum on the candidates’ fidelity to President Trump and his agenda, and whether a conservative with an independent streak like Mr. Crenshaw could still have a place in the party.

Mr. Trump did not endorse either candidate, a notable blow to Mr. Crenshaw, who found himself the only House Republican in Texas running for re-election without the president’s backing.

Mr. Toth has been among the most conservative members of the Texas House, often clashing with the chamber’s Republican leadership over legislation

I sincerely hope not but they’re spending a lot of money to try and defeat him. Tens of millions on that race. It’s ridiculous

I had a competitor who was blind in one eye.

The joke among his competitors was it’s no wonder he often bids at half price for the job
