Lt. Gov. Patrick goes all in for Wambsganss with accusations her GOP opponent’s campaign is “satanic” while the Democrat in the race hopes to bank on Republican infighting to attract independents
FORT WORTH
– In the battle over filling the Senate District 9 seat in
Tarrant County, it’s about one type of Southlake Republican versus another.
In a race
that kind of runs like a jungle primary are former Southlake mayor John
Huffman, Patriot Mobile Chief Communications Officer Leigh
Wambsganss, also of Southlake, and Democrat and union president Taylor
Rehmet of Fort Worth.
The battle
has focused on the Republicans, with Wambsganss ratcheting up her campaign
recently by bringing in big names like Steve Bannon, who spoke at an
event for her this week, and reminding potential voters she is backed, like
much of the state’s Republican officeholders, by President Donald Trump.
But if
turnout and recent elections say anything, she’s not necessarily a shoo- in.

On Texas Capital Tonight, Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg also talked with host James Barragan that Rep. Gina Hinojosa probably starts as a Democratic primary frontrunner for the gubernatorial nomination but of course she or any other would face an incumbent with $100 million in the bank to beat back any challenger.

Patrick said the attack against the Patriot Mobile exec he supports for Senate in Tarrant County is “satanic”; retiring Speaker Phelan points out that he offered legislation this year to require a disclosure to let voters know an image used in a campaign is fake
Editor’s
note: Lt. Gov. Patrick’s online rant placing blame for the image at the feet of
candidate John Huffman appears to be misleading. That changes the story a bit,
so this article has been updated throughout – SB
Lt. Gov. Dan
Patrick on Monday railed against what he called the "despicable and
disgraceful" altering of an image of his preferred candidate to succeed
former Sen. Kelly Hancock in North Texas – the kind of manipulation that
could have been addressed by legislation he killed in the Texas Senate
earlier this year. A bill to crack down on those fake images was carried in the
Texas House by former Speaker Dade Phelan, who Patrick
hates.
The image
of Leigh Wambsganss, who’s endorsed by Patrick running in Senate
District 9, was apparently changed to invert the crucifix she wears on
her necklace. At least that was the accusation from Patrick ,who
also blamed GOP candidate John Huffman for the image even though it
appears to have been promoted by a third-party group.
Nevertheless,
Patrick went so far as to say “this attack by her
opponent, John Huffman, is satanic.”

Texas Tech news, association moves, lobby hires, appointments, and more
“What’s
the deadline for People on the Move?”
The
question comes often, and the answer is really that there’s no deadline because
you can send career news – on behalf of yourself or someone else – at any time
for inclusion in the pages of Quorum Report.
If you
have something that’s time sensitive, however, the answer is that if you send
it before 10am on a Friday, the news should make its way into that week’s edition.
I usually sit down to go through the list of submissions over coffee on Friday
mornings to hopefully make sure I don’t miss anything. There are, as you may
have figured, Fridays when we haven’t received enough submissions for it to
make sense to publish POTM that week. But if there’s something you’d like people
to read about ASAP, just let me know.
Feel free
to email the news with the subject line “POTM” and follow up with a call or
text to make sure I’ve got it. You can never be too sure. And there’s lots to
get to this week, so here’s the latest edition.
