Lieutenant Governor Runoff Candidates Come to West Texas

vitage-radio

Incumbent David Dewhurst has been duking it out with challenger Dan Patrick in an effort to retain his title as Lieutenant Governor of Texas. They’ve traded punches in a series of televised debates and in campaign ads.

Last week, they took their battle to the Midland, where they squared off in front of a roomful of Republican women. For KXWT News, Lana Straub has this report.
