On June 12, a University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll was released for the Texas gubernatorial race. The results: Republican Greg Abbott 44%; Democrat Wendy Davis 32%; Libertarian Kathie Glass 3%; Green Party nominee Brandon Parmer 1%; “someone else” 3%; undecided 17%. Those four candidates will be the only ones on the ballot.
There are some nominees from the LPT this year that should draw especial notice. One is Federal Senate nominee Rebecca Paddock, as the D and R are both male and the D has no chance of winning. Another is Atorney-General contender Balagia (who might draw votes from NORML members) and Ag Commissioner nominee Palmquist, since the D will run virtually no campaign.
The candidate for JP in Rusk County should also do well.
