A few quick updates on the Texas Senate Race:
Dewhurst sounds like he’s in, to be made official “midweek.”
So also says the Denton County GOP chair…
…who will be hosting a Senate forum with Ted Cruz, Tom Leppert, Elizabeth Ames Jones, Lela Pettinger, and (presumably) Dewhurst.
Jason Embry in the Statesman joins the chorus of those saying that Cruz has the momentum in the race.
Ex-senate candidate Michael Williams Q2 fundraising report is up. He raised a respectable $550,018, which would have been better than his Q1 numbers, but still behind Cruz and Leppert. If he can transfer these funds to his congressional race (I am not a lawyer, but my impression is that he can), then he’ll go into his match with fellow Senate race dropout Roger Williams with a substantial warchest.
