Texas Senate Race: The Contenders

Officially, three candidates have announced their candidacy to replace Kay Bailey Hutchinson as Senator from the State of Texas:  Ted Cruz (former Solicitor General), Tom Leppert (former Mayor of Dallas), and Elizabeth Ames Jones (R.R. Commissioner). All three are highly qualified and are are well known in particular regions of Texas. However with David Dewhurst (Lt. Governor) and Dan Patrick (Tea Party Favorite Texas Senator) looming in the background, teetering with notion of running, the race for the Senate seat could be over before it even begins.


 In my next five blog posts I will give a short bio for each of these three candidates, as well as cover Dewhurst and Patrick for the sake of not being naive.
