In
the
runoff
for
Lt.
Governor
in
the
Republican
primary,
TLRPAC
believes
that
Sen.
Patrick
has
earned
the
support
of
Republicans
who
want
to
retain
the
Lt.
Governorship
in
conservative
hands.
Sen.
Patricks
leadership
on
a
broad
platform
of
conservative
issues,
including
lawsuit
reform,
has
united
Republican
voters.
This
was
demonstrated
forcefully
on
March
4th
when
Dan
received
a
commanding
41.45%
of
the
vote
in
a
field
of
four
strong
candidates.
In
determining
the
best
course
for
the
State
of
Texas
moving
forward,
we
believe
it
is
time
to
rally
to
Dan
Patrick
for
the
fall
election.
The
Democrat
nominee
for
Lt.
Governor
is
Sen.
Leticia
Van
de
Putte
(D-San
Antonio),
who
has
been
a
consistent
and
vocal
foe
to
every
major
tort
reform
that
has
been
brought
before
the
Texas
senate
during
her
tenure.
Leticia
is
a
polite
and
civil
opponent,
but
a
fierce
and
persistent
one.
We
are
confident
that
Sen.
Patrick
will
defeat
her
and
assure
that
the
lawsuit
reforms
that
have
strengthened
our
states
economy
for
the
past
two
decades
will
not
be
weakened
or
overthrown.
We
have
worked
closely
with
Sen.
Patrick
over
the
years
and
he
has
always
been
a
tort
reform
stalwart
who
has
consistently
refused
to
accept
political
contributions
from
personal
injury
trial
lawyers.
During
the
last
legislative
session,
as
Chairman
of
the
Senate
Education
Committee,
Dan
showed
legislative
skill
and
statesmanship
in
producing
large
bi-partisan
support
for
an
impressive
array
of
important
legislation
impacting
the
Texas
K-12
education
system.
We
are
confident
he
will
employ
these
same
leadership
skills
on
every
issue
when
he
is
Lt.
Governor.
TLRPAC
is
endorsing
Sen.
Dan
Patrick
for
Lt.
Governor
in
the
Republican
Run-Off
on
May
27.
We
believe
it
is
time
to
unite
behind
Dan
and
to
start
work
toward
victory
in
November.
