| Description | State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, seems to be in for the U.S. Senate race.
He has an announcement planned for Monday in Dallas, but on Friday, paperwork was filed with the Federal Election Commission establishing a "Royce West for U.S. Senate" campaign and declaring him a Democratic candidate for the seat. Moments later, his name showed up as a U.S. Senate candidate on the Democratic fundraising site Act Blue.
West didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Neither did the campaign's treasurer, Barbara Radnofksy.
The assistant treasurer is listed as Mike Collier, the 2018 Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. Collier said he has been discussing the race with West for months and plans to help with economic policy, as well as rural and suburban messaging. Collier came within 5 percentage points of Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the state Senate. |
