| Description | Hey, Texplainer: Who becomes governor if both Rick Perry and David Dewhurst are elected to other offices?
It's no secret that two of Texas’ top politicians may be angling for new jobs. Gov. Rick Perry’s recent excursions have been well-publicized, and the evidence of a possible Perry presidential bid is mounting.
Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who handles the state's gubernatorial responsibilities when Perry is out of state, appears set on a different title: U.S. senator. Dewhurst has expressed interest in running for GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's seat upon her retirement, and he sent a letter to his supporters in June foreshadowing an announcement this month.
So who becomes governor if both Perry and Dewhurst are elected to different offices in 2012? |
