Governor's Race


 In this KVUE story Big name, dark horse candidates square off as 2014 battle takes shape, Attorney General Greg Abbott announced he would be running for office to become the next Governor of Texas just a few days after Governor Perry announced he would not be seeking re-election.  Greg Abbott distances himself from Perry and grabs for the minority vote by stressing his family ties and conservative values.  Right now there is only one other Republican candidate, Tom Paulken.  No Democrats have made announcements but there is buzz about Wendy Davis joining the race. Although I think the race will be predictable and the Republicans will once again re-gain office, it will be interesting to see who the candidates will be on both sides and what issues will prevail.  As the campaigns rev up, stories such as this one provide more insight into the candidates we may not be familiar with early on.
