In Comptroller campaign, Sen. Eckhardt fundraises on Paxton's demand that Abbott fire Hancock and replace him with Huffines

“I'm not in this to win a participation trophy,” Eckhardt told supporters. “I'm here to end the single-party system that has left our tax dollars unguarded to the Epstein-class' thieves and cheats.”

In her bid for Texas Comptroller, Democratic nominee Sen. Sarah Eckhardt on Monday sought to capitalize on disarray on the Republican side as Attorney General Ken Paxton is demanding Gov. Greg Abbott install former Sen. Don Huffines at the office overseen for now by Kelly Hancock.

Here's what she wrote in a fundraising appeal this afternoon:

In a first for him, East Texas Congressman Moran endorses in a GOP primary and says Cornyn is the man President Trump needs in DC

“The unending scandals and unethical behavior that seem commonplace today are incongruent with the ‘wisdom to discern’ and ‘virtue to pursue’ that James Madison made clear we needed in those we elect. So, what's the answer? We The People should do our best to elect men and women to public office who have character, integrity, wisdom, and virtue…”

Writing in the Texarkana Gazette, Rep. Moran said:

“I have never endorsed in a Republican primary--from the top of the ticket to the bottom. But, I am compelled in this moment to deviate once from this policy. President Trump needs a U.S. Senator from Texas with both the character and competency to help him finish the job he was hired to do. He needs someone he can trust. And, in my opinion, that man is John Cornyn.”

water use, and 41 percent say noise.

Braddock: Some Republicans worry Huffines would be a rogue Comptroller but Hancock has set the precedent with the support of Abbott

Abbott and Hancock circumvented the Texas Constitution last year when the former senator moved to the Office of the Comptroller where he’s completely rewritten policy on issues that have always been within the purview of the Legislature

Now that a blood feud has erupted between Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock and Attorney General Ken Paxton – with the latter demanding the former be fired by Gov. Greg Abbott – it’s probably appropriate to set the record straight about how this all came to a head in the first place.

Paxton this week called on Abbott to “fire” Hancock because the acting comptroller was critical of how Paxton has handled the case of a Muslim school in Houston. In short, the raw politics of it is just another example of Republicans trying to outdo each other on the “Islamification of Texas.” Regardless of the merits, it’s clear Paxton is angry over Hancock’s vote to remove him from the AG’s office during the impeachment trial and Hancock thinks Paxton is a crook.

What else is new?

Well’s here’s what’s festering under the surface.
