There is a reason why those other guys are slinging twenty year old + mud up against the wall hoping something will stick!

I’ve known and liked everyone in this race for years! Went to campaign school with Staples before he was first elected to the Texas house. Jerry Patterson since he was a city councilman in Pasadena. And Dan Patrick since he worked for KHOU TV in Houston and painted himself blue for Oiler football games (Long before he ever entered the realm of politics) and know him to be a good man who does what he says he will do! He says he will change the way the Texas senate works. That needs to happen and I believe he will see that it does!!

I don’t like the fact that it currently takes 21 of 31 senators to approve before ANY senate bill can come up for debate thus giving the democrats the ability to kill anything they wish even with a senate make up of 20 Republicans and only 11 Democrats! Only Dan Patrick wants to end that!

I don’t like the Lt. Governor appointing Democrats to chair key committees ( the place where GOOD legislation goes to die) in the Senate when there is a LARGE Republican majority in that body as Dewhurst has repeatedly done. Both Staples and Patterson have said that they would continue this practice!

I’m voting for Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor and now you know why!

You can do as you please! At least you are now informed!

I'd vote for a one-eyed crack whore before I'd vote for Dan Patrick.
