Big posts at stake in
primary runoffs
AUSTIN — Early voting
ended May 23 and Tuesday,
May 27, was state primary
election runoff day.
Voting records available
to the public at the Office of
the Secretary of State show
that turnout is historically
low for mid-term primaries
and even lower for primary
runoff elections. But what’s
different about this set of
runoffs — and something
that should stimulate voter
turnout — were the powerful
offices at stake.
Tops in that regard was
the race for lieutenant gov-
ernor, the state’s second-
highest-ranking executive
post. Three of the lieutenant
governor’s many important
duties are picking committee
chairs and members, control-
ling the flow of legislation
and shepherding the state
budget as a member of the
Legislative Budget Board.
Republicans voting in
the runoff for lieutenant
governor chose between in-
cumbent Lt. Gov. David De-
whurst of Houston and chal-
lenger Dan Patrick, a state
senator representing north-
west Houston. Dewhurst, as
lieutenant governor, has pre-
sided over the Senate since
2003. Patrick, first elected in
2007, served as chair of the
Senate Committee on Edu-
cation in the 2013 regular
session of the Legislature.
The winner will face
Leticia Van de Putte of San
Antonio, a state senator who
ran unopposed in the March
Democratic primary. Van de
Putte served as a member
of the Texas House of Rep-
resentatives from 1990 to
1999 and has been a mem-
ber of the Senate since 1999.
She joins fellow state Sen.
Wendy R. Davis, candidate
for governor, on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Davis will face
Republican candidate for
governor Greg Abbott, cur-
rent Texas attorney general,

in November.
In the Republican run-
off for attorney general, the
choices were lawyer-legisla-
tors Dan Branch of Dallas, a
state representative, and Ken
Paxton of McKinney, a state
senator.
For agriculture commis-
sioner, Republicans chose
between former state repre-
sentatives Sid Miller of Ste-
phenville and Tommy Mer-
ritt of Longview.
And, in the race for rail-
road commissioner, GOP
voters chose between former
State Rep. Wayne Christian
of Center and Ryan Sitton, a
Pasadena oil, gas and petro-
chemical industry consultant.
Democratic voters chose
between runoff opponents
Dr. David M. Alameel of
Dallas and Kesha Rogers
of Houston, who are vy-
ing to face incumbent U.S.
Sen. John Cornyn on the
November ballot. And, for
agriculture commissioner,
Democrats chose between
author-musician-humorist
Richard S. “Kinky” Fried-
man of Medina and farmer-
rancher-insurance agent Jim
Hogan of Cleburne.
Texas Tech picks Duncan
Texas Tech Board of Re-
gents on May 19 announced
state Sen. Robert Duncan, R-
Lubbock, as the sole finalist
for chancellor of the Texas
Tech University System. He
is expected to resign from the
Texas Senate and start in his
new capacity on July 1.
As chancellor, Duncan
will serve as chief execu-
tive officer and will report
to the system’s board of re-
gents. Current Chancellor
Kent Hance reportedly will
become chancellor emeritus
at that time.
Duncan, 60, was born in
Lubbock, grew up in Vernon,
and earned his bachelor’s
degree and law degree from
Texas Tech. He was elected
to the House in 1992 and in
1996 won a special election
to the Senate.
Perry writes to president
Gov. Rick Perry, who
ran for president in 2012 and
may run for president again
in 2016, on May 19 posted
an 873-word letter he signed
and sent to President Obama
about energy and the econo-
my.
“You reassured the Amer-
ican people of your commit-
ment to an all-of-the-above
energy strategy to bring our
nation closer to energy in-
dependence while creating
needed jobs,” Perry wrote,
and then suggested that
the president take a “Texas
approach” to create jobs
and stimulate the nation’s
economy by switching to a
less-regulated strategy. That
strategy would include such
actions as stepping up coal-
burning power plant capaci-
ties, opening the Keystone
XL pipeline and increasing
oil and gas operations on
land and offshore.
Hurricane season nears
Texas Department of
Public Safety on May 19
drew attention to the upcom-
ing hurricane season, June 1
through Nov. 30, and urged
Texans to assemble an emer-
gency kit.
An emergency kit, the
DPS suggested, should in-
clude essential documents,
supplies and provisions.
And, Texans should:
— Review hurricane
evacuation maps and pick
routes to safe locations;
— Plan how all family
members and pets will evac-
uate safely and consider any
special needs for individuals
with disabilities or older per-
sons; and
— Stay informed about
changing weather conditions.
In other news, the DPS
announced on May 21 that
trooper patrols would be
“significantly increased”
during the Memorial Day
holiday, May 23-26.
