Williams is still running for Senate. He is very active at the local level, attending numerous events across the state.

He does not have the vast financial resources as other candidates who are more connected with Texas money. My hope is that he can force the race into a runoff when he will receive equal attention, money or not, and where the more active and conservative primary voters will determine the outcome [because the less active voters do not bother to vote again].

Side note: it’s generally true that in the Republican primary, the more conservative candidate wins, regardless of funding. For a good example, see Olson v Shelly Sekula Gibbs.

You’d think that sitting on the frakking RAILROAD COMMISSION would have stoked a few of the oil and gas boys to put some dimes and nickels in Mike Williams’ side pocket.

Ah, the Texas GOP: so close to Mexico. So far from God.

Best,

Chris
