I wish Dr. Suzanna Hupp would run to replace KBH, but I think she has a couple of young kids.
Dan Patrick . . . or anyone who can slap John Cornyn when he gets stupid (which is all the time).
There will be a plenty lined up I expect. It remains to see who will be viable in the presidential year........
From the DMN is a note of some potential candidates on both sides of the aisle.
Likely Republican contenders to succeed her include Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert , state Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano , Railroad Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams, Weatherford car dealer Roger Williams, and Ted Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general and candidate for state attorney general.
Possible Democratic contenders include former Texas Comptroller John Sharp and former Houston mayor Bill White.

“TSRT has placed numerous billboards throughout Texas promoting the Trans Texas Corridor in 2006 and 2007.”
Thanks for that info - there is no way in hell I’ll vote for ANYONE tied up in that fiasco - even if he is black. Just no way. I had to vote against Perry twice - the last thing this country needs is someone pushing this type of scheme at the federal level.
see #5
I suggest Jerry Patterson for senator.
Greg Abbott or Ted Poe
Who should replace her?
Who should believe her!
But to answer you question: Michael WIlliams
Dan Patrick.
As a rule I do not contribute to PACs. But I might to DeMint’s PAC. At least I know none of my money will be spent promoting RINOs.

Follow Sen. DeMint on Twitter.
There is a long list of highly qualified candidates vying for this seat, because they had originally been lead to believe the seat would be vacated by Senator Hutchison in 2010. There are 3 on my Facebook friend list: Michael Williams, Elizabeth Ames Jones, and Ted Cruz.
Michael Williams.
Hasn’t Leppert already been chosen by the country club crowd? If so, the rest of the process is just for show.
Agree.....I like the guy as well but need to do more research before I promise my vote. All I know about him are his efforts on concealed carry etc ...
Whats his stand on border and illegals etc ??
I concur.
Texas has a lot of good Republican contenders like these two for the Senate spot.
Our bench strength is strong. Probably stronger than the current starters. ;)
In before the Paulbots suggest Ron Paul for U.S. Senate. ;)
Not possible, as Dewhurst’s 2013 successor as lt. gov. must be a sitting state senator.
