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 turn-
out 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 governor, the
state’s second-highest-ranking
executive post. Three of the lieu-
tenant governor’s many impor-
tant duties are picking committee
chairs and members, controlling
the flow of legislation and shep-
herding the state budget as a
member of the Legislative Bud-
get Board.

The McGregor Housing
Authority will amend their 2014
plan to include the flat rate in-
crease mandated by HUD based
on the new Appropriations Act
signed by the president on Janu-
ary 17, 2014 and effective June

be at a level of at least 80 percent
fair market rent for the county of
the PHA location. The PHA is

the implementation of this new
regulation as how it will impact
current flat rent tenants.
Republicans voting in the
runoff for lieutenant governor
chose between incumbent Lt.
Gov. David Dewhurst of Hous-
ton and challenger Dan Patrick, a
state senator representing north-
west Houston. Dewhurst, as lieu-
tenant governor, has presided
over the Senate since 2003. Pat-
rick, first elected in 2007, served
as chair of the Senate Committee
on Education 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 prima-
ry. Van de Putte served as a mem-
ber of the Texas House of Repre-
sentatives from 1990 to 1999 and
has been a member of the Senate
since 1999. She joins fellow state
Sen. Wendy R. Davis, candidate
for governor, on the Democratic
ticket. Davis will face Republi-
can candidate for governor Greg
Abbott, current Texas attorney
general, in November,
In the Republican runoff
for attorney general, the choices
were lawyer-legislators Dan
Branch of Dallas, a state rep-
resentative, and Ken Paxton of
McKinney, a state senator.
For agriculture commission-
er, Republicans chose between
former state representatives Sid
Miller of Stephenville and Tom-
my Merritt 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 petrochemical industry con-
sultant.
Democratic voters chose
between runoff opponents Dr.
David M. Alameel of Dallas and
Kesha Rogers of Houston, who
are vying to face incumbent U.S.
Sen. John Cornyn on the No-
vember ballot. And, for agricul-
ture commissioner, Democrats
chose between author-musician-
humorist Richard S. “Kinky”
Friedman of Medina and farmer-
rancher-insurance agent Jim Ho-
gan 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 chancel-
lor 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 executive officer
and will report to the system’s
board of regents. Current Chan-
cellor Kent Hance reportedly
will become chancellor emeritus
at that time.
Duncan, 60, was bom 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 elec-
tion 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 Presi-
dent Obama about energy and the
economy.
“You reassured the Ameri-
can people of your commit-
ment to an all-of-the-above en-
ergy strategy to bring our nation
closer to energy independence
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-buming power plant ca-
pacities, 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 atten-
tion to the upcoming hurricane
season, June 1 through Nov. 30,
and urged Texans to assemble an
emergency kit.
An emergency kit, the DPS
suggested, should include es-
sential documents, supplies and
provisions. And, Texans should:
— Review hurricane evacu-
ation maps and pick routes to
safe locations;
— Plan how all family mem-
bers and pets will evacuate safely
and consider any special needs
for individuals with disabilities
or older persons; and
— Stay informed about
changing weather conditions.
In other news, the DPS an-
nounced on May 21 that trooper
patrols would be “significantly
increased” during the Memorial
Day holiday, May 23-26.
