Jerry Patterson Confirms He'll Run for Lieutenant Governor

Jerry Patterson confirmed Tuesday night that he will run for lieutenant governor in 2014, making that announcement just hours after Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he'll run for U.S. Senate in 2012.

I know who I'll be voting for.

I guess he is gunning for Kay Bailey Hutchison's seat...

Can he do that and run for Lt. Gov. (the subject of this thread) at the same time?

If Dewhurst were to win in 2012, who would fill his seat for the 2013 leg. Session?

Once again, I think we need a shoulder shrugging "I dunno" icon

I dunno how that works.

I would vote for Patterson any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

If Dewhurst abandons his post, secession rules would have the senate choose one of their own to act as president of the senate until the next statewide election. Because of that, Dewhurst won't get my vote for US Senate unless he resigns his current position in time for the voters to elect his replacement. If he's not committed, I can't support him.

No opposition from me....but I wouldn't have minded him getting KBH's spot, either.....
