The Race for Tommy Williams’ Senate Seat

Date

Oct 17, 2013

Notes

The good news about Brandon Creighton’s and Steve Toth’s decision to run for Tommy Williams’ Senate seat (SD 4) is that there will be one less far-right member of the Legislature. One of them has to lose. In all seriousness, I think Creighton made a mistake with this decision. He had a chance to win a statewide office (Dept. of Agriculture) and passed it up.

The problem is that they both could still have a free shot at moving to the senate, both lose and both still wind up back in the Texas House. It all depends on when the gov. calls a special election and when Williams resigns. If that election is different than the primary election date they could still go ahead and file for re-election to the House and withdraw later if they win the special election for the Senate. Or, if by some miracle someone but these two wins the special, they could stay on the regular ballot for their House seats. It all depends on the timing of the two elections.
Hey, JJ, you do know that PB has a regular job that some times might keep him from entering new stuff on the blog don’t you? If you want something new every day you will have to go to some blogger who has nothing else to do….Say somebody like JBB, for example.

P.S. Maybe Creighton figured that since being anti-abortion seems to be the number two requirement (hating the federal govt being the number one) for running as a Republican this year no matter what the office he could not out anti-abortion Sid so he had to move to a race where his record is the same as the other guy’s.

  Creighton is going to REGRET not seeking statewide office in 2014 and choosing to denigrate himself further by running for a State Senate seat. When the iron is HOT, you better go for the big statewide office gig
