| Description | Austin deli owner Marc Katz, filing papers to run for lieutenant governor at Texas Democratic Party headquarters today, said his relatives will make a "huge, milestone contribution" to his campaign that will allow him to buy TV and travel the state spreading his progressive-populist message.
"It's in the millions," Katz said of the family donation. He promised more details Friday.
Katz, who has run unsuccessfully for Austin mayor, is making his first statewide race. He faces former Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle and possibly national labor leader Linda Chavez-Thompson in the March 2 Democratic primary. Barring a resignation by U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, they would be vying for the right to take on incumbent GOP Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst next fall.
Katz said the relatives making the contributions to his campaign mainly live in New York, California and Florida. |
