David Dewhurst has finally stepped down from his ivory tower and entered the political fray in person, joining his fellow candidates at the Spirit of Freedom Republican Women candidate forum in Sugar Land. This might be the first result of Dewhurst’s campaign staff shake-up.
It sounds like time constraints (“Friday’s event at the Sugar Creek Baptist Church chapel had to wrap up on time to make way for a funeral”) prevented much in the way of candidate interaction.
The report also says that Tom Leppert is running statewide ads, which I have not seen. It’s pretty early to start running TV ads, but understandable, given how badly he lags Dewhurst and Ted Cruz in the latest poll.
