Several business lobby groups support Blocker for Ag Commissioner

Manufacturers, Restaurants, Food and Fuel Association, TFFA all support Blocker over Sid Miller

Travis County GOP Chairman Matt Mackowiak this morning notified the media that his client Trey Blocker has won the endorsements of several Austin business lobby groups, including one that has never endorsed in a statewide race previously.

Manufacturers, Restaurants, the TFFA and the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association PAC have all now endorsed blocker over Commissioner Sid Miller.

There was no immediate comment from Miller’s campaign, which has questioned the ethics of Mackowiak working as Travis County Republican Party chairman while being paid by a statewide candidate in a GOP primary. Mackowiak has said it's not an issue because he's not paid to be party chairman.
