In the race
for Texas Comptroller, former Sen. Don Huffines got some very encouraging
news in the form of a poll this week conducted in the Texas Senate district
that used to be represented by Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock.
The poll,
conducted in Senate District 9 by national Republican pollster Chris
Wilson shows that in the field of three GOP candidates, primary voters prefer
Huffines above Hancock and Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick – and not
by a small margin.

“This report suggests that closing primaries wouldn't just cost nearly 3 million Texans their right to vote — it would also cost the state billions of dollars in total economic output…and all for what, exactly?"
A new
report suggests losses of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs
should the Republican Party of Texas succeed in its lawsuit against
the state’s open political primaries.
The report,
conducted by Waco-based The Perryman Group for the non-partisan
elections advocacy organization Unite America, estimates losses
of up to $26 billion and 219,000 jobs by 2050.
You might ask how that's possible. Well, the findings are based on data showing a strong correlation between voter participation and a stronger economy and workforce.

Via Politico:
Gavin
Newsom will headline a rally in Texas on Saturday alongside Lone Star state
House members and dignitaries — an event designed as an aggressive show of
force in the wake of California Democrats’ resounding gerrymander victory on
Tuesday.
Newsom, a
likely 2028 presidential candidate, also returned $3 million from his ballot
measure account to the House Majority PAC, the flagship Democratic-aligned
super PAC and a partner in California’s Proposition 50, for the committee to
help fund redistricting efforts in other states.

"I cannot in good conscience continue to work this way," Hall said
With
candidate filing set to begin this
weekend, the Republican Party of Texas is searching for key
staff after both the longtime Executive Director and the Organizational Lead
both quit their jobs with little to no explanation as to why. The resignations come after the part backed away from plans to try to kick some Texas House Republicans off the primary ballot and as the RPT battles the state in court over closing primaries.

Raw politics: The team around former Speaker Dennis Bonnen is no match for Patrick and Blakemore; the results in SD9 also seem to indicate a serious enthusiasm gap with Democrats much more motivated in the suburbs even when their candidate isn’t well-funded
If Sands
doesn’t reassess everything they’ve been doing in Texas at this point, many
political professionals will think they just can’t be helped.
That was
much of the chatter tonight as the election results started to roll in after 7pm.
Despite
millions of dollars spent, the company came nowhere close to passing casino gaming
two regular sessions ago, didn’t even get an effort at the Texas Capitol
this year, and tonight their candidate came in third place behind a Democrat
and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s candidate in the race to succeed former Sen. Kelly
Hancock in the Texas Senate.
Let’s get
real: Whether you like them or not, the folks in the orbit of former Speaker Dennis
Bonnen including consultant Mitch Carney and Bonnen’s former Chief Gavin
Massingill are just no match for Patrick and GOP powerhouse consultant Allen
Blakemore.
