After due research, this is my voting list. I came back special to Midland for this vote, so want to make sure I am correct:
Would appreciate comments and concerns:
1. Senate --- Stovall (close second, Stockman) The Great Cornholio is a disgrace with what he said and has done to Cruz. He's got to go.
2. Governor --- Greg Abbot
3. Lt. Governor -- Dan Patrick (Do worst has to go)
4. Attorney General ---- Gen Paxton
5. Comptroller --- Harvey Hildebran, hands down (Met Glenn Hegar -- VERY unimpressed.)
6. Commisioner GLO --- David Watts. George P Bush is a nice kid, but I am sick to death of Bushes. Knocking him out will potentially keep Jeb from running for President, as it demonstrates Bush-fatigue.
7. Railroad Commissioner -- Ryan Sitton. He's an engineer, very pro-business, smart guy. I've met him and am impressed.
8. Supreme Court --- Hecht, Brown, and Johnson
9. State Senator -- reluctantly voting for Mike Cannon. I know Mike; don't particularly care for him, but the voting record of Kel Seligar is marginal, at best.
Also voting against my Congressman, Mike Conaway. He's marginally OK, but was a big Myth Romney supporter, so I am going for Brown.
Thanks, Windy. You’re definitely one whose opinion and reference I value ;)
I’d like to post some of those down here in the Houston area. I am definitely sending that pic to my email buddies, in my “reminder to vote” emails.
I’m planning on writing on my rear window, in large letters....

Anybody But Cornyn
Dan Patrick has been endorsed by Texans for Fiscal responsibility and Young conservatives of Texas, also by my local Texas Senate candidate who is a great conservative young man. I’m really disappointed to hear this. Are you sure it’s true?
Dan Patrick talked big but then turned into a GOPe sellout. I voted for one of the two unknowns mainly as a vote againt Dewhurst and Patrick.
I'm humbled, Jane. Thank you.
As I said, Ken Paxton has been allied with the Tea Party since before it was cool for Republican office seekers to do so.
He thinks like we do, and walks the walk. The Tea Party has helped him win a couple of his prior races, which wouldn't have happened if he'd gone RINO.
Ted Cruz is right to endorse him.
Yes, I’ve had several conservative organizations and individuals endorse Ken Paxton also.
I just got my copy of American Rifleman with their TX voter guide. They give a full page endorsement to Cornyn. Also endorsed RINO Pete Sessions.”
Wonder how much that cost them. Pretty widely distributed magazine. Michael Beery was interviewing Senatorial candidates on his radio show today - except for Cornyn who declined invitation. One of them commented that because of the size of Texas unless you have a whole lot of money it’s hard to cover the entire state. Many areas only know about Cornyn and Stockman because Cornyn is running so many negative ads about him. Stovall has a substantial number of volunteers. Just hope this is all enough to keep Cornyn below 50 per cent in the first round.
I should ask VerySadAmerican to chime in here. I got the data from their post # 59 (and there are similar comments sprinkled throughout the thread).
In the end, we all have to do our own due diligence and make up our minds based upon our best vetting of the candidates. I think most of us have been on a steep learning curve on these threads. I've had a bubble or two burst already.
Thanks. I appreciate the perspective.
Thank you.
I’ve had bubbles bursting for years. Dan Patrick was one of them. It was sad how quickly he joined the gopE. I’m not saying his views are all wrong. But he was against Cruz and that’s enough for me.
I’m still working on my voting research as well. Every piece of info helps.
I got a call yesterday from the Farm Bureau to vote for Cornyn. I hung up.
You’re voting for Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor???? He has dissed Ted Cruz on more than one occasion and endorsed Dewhurst when he was Ted’s opponent in the U.S. Senate Run-off Election in 2012. Dan Patrick is a RINO!!!
Do you concur with this list?
_____________________________________________________________I concur with all except the RINO Dan Patrick for Lt. Gov. I’m voting for a proven Conservative for Lt. Gov..... Jerry Patterson.
You probably should read the thread.
It will help you not reveal how stupid you are.
Patrick has some diry laundry lately in Breitbart so I went for Staples

Good for you! “Hell no” to Dan Patrick.
