Description | Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson late Tuesday became the first person to officially announce a candidacy for lieutenant governor in 2014.
Patterson's late-night entrance into the race came after GOP Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's long-awaited announcement Tuesday in which he said he'll run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison. Dewhurst's move breaks a logjam at the top of Texas' political pyramid that had left some statewide elected officials waiting years for a chance to move up in the state's political hierarchy. |
