  • Democrats Stand Little Chance of Succeeding Hutchison
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 18, 2011 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Democrats stand little chance of succeeding Hutchison Raleigh, N.C. – When Kay Bailey Hutchison kept to her word last week and announced she would not seek re-election next year, it set off a scramble on both sides of the aisle. Republicans are angling for what could be a shoo-in if they get past the primary, while the less optimistic Democrats are at least hoping that in a presidential year, with strong minority turnout and some resources spent by the Obama campaign, they could spring a surprise. At this stage, those hopes appear small. Four potential Republican contenders, three of them unknowns statewide, all post double-digit leads over three possible Democratic aspirants in PPP’s early look at the 2012 Texas Senate race. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst tops Rep. Chet Edwards, 50-31; former Comptroller John Sharp, 49-31; and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, 53-25. Railroad Commissioner Elizabeth Ames Jones bests Edwards, 44-31; Sharp, 44-30; and Castro, 48-27. Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert beats Edwards, 46-30; Sharp, 42-30; and Castro, 48-25. RRC Michael Williams outduels Edwards, 42-31; Sharp, 42-30; and Castro, 45-26. The results are partly a reflection of name recognition, but more than anything, a function of Texas’ strong 42-31 Republican registration advantage over the Democrats. It is no surprise that Democrats have a ceiling of 31% against any of the Republicans.

Total Texas PAC Spending The bulk of this report identifies and ranks Texas’ top general-purpose political action committees (PACs) in the 2012 election cycle (one chapter also analyzes special-purpose PACs). Rankings are based on the total expenditures that PACs electronically reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. During the two-year election cycle ending in December 2012, 1,364 general-purpose PACs reported expenditures.1 There were more PACs active in 2012 than any other election over the past decade. Yet those PACs spent $126 million, a 5 percent decrease from the 2010 gubernatorial election cycle. PACs typically dig deeper in gubernatorial election years to influence the elections of a bumper crop of statewide officeholders. 2012 PAC spending increased 6 percent over the preceding non-gubernatorial election in 2008.

  • VERTICAL TARGET May 31 2012.Qxp
    VOLUME 15, NO. 11 THE TIPRO TAARRGGETET May 31, 2012 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN! Texas Independent With all votes tallied from the May 29 Texas Primary Election, it appears several races will require a Producers and run-off election in July to determine party nominations. Royalty Owners Both seats on the Railroad Commission will require run-offs. Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman captured 44 percent of the vote in the race for the Republican nomination for the position Association formerly held by Commissioner Michael Williams. The term, not yet expired, would last for two years before up for election again in 2014. Other contenders in the race included Comal County Commissioner Greg Parker, Guadalupe County attorney Elizabeth Murray-Kolb and businessman Al Lee. Just shy of the majority needed to secure the nomination, a run-off will be held between Smitherman and Parker to determine the final GOP candidate for the position. Smitherman was originally appointed by Gov. Perry to fill the role on July 8, 2011, after the seat was vacated by Williams. Then, in February 2012, Smitherman was elected as Chairman of the Commission. Previously he served seven years at the Public Utility Commission (PUC), three years as a member and four years as Chairman of the Commission. Smitherman currently serves as Texas’ representative on the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, and as vice chair of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners’ Gas Committee. He is on the Visiting Committee of the Bureau of Economic Geology with the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Texas School of Law Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law, and the Eanes Education Foundation Advisory Board.

  • AUSTIN REPUBLICAN WOMEN January 2011 Volume 3, Number 1
    AUSTIN REPUBLICAN WOMEN January 2011 Volume 3, Number 1 President's Message Dear Friends, Happy New Year and congratulations to all of you for contributing to the Republican Party’s many wins in the recent state and national elections. I posted a new welcome message on the ARW website that describes ARW members as the boots on the ground, and sometimes the “high heels on the ground”. This is certainly true and you deserve to be recognized for your efforts! I also humbly thank you for electing me to be the 2011 ARW President. With this honor comes much responsibility and I’m excited to begin. This year my focus will be to grow our membership numbers by at least 10% and to focus our volunteer efforts on our military and veterans. There is definitely strength in numbers and with 2012 looming over the horizon, we need to engage and educate voters in Austin. The more members we have, the better we can get the word out about Republican candidates and our philosophies. Also, we will need to raise money to support our local 2012 Republican candidates and that work begins by growing our membership and encouraging our members to take part in fundraisers and activities that ARW sponsors. Over the years, ARW has particularly focused its efforts on serving the needs of our military in action and also reaching out and assisting our wounded warriors and their families. 2011 brings a renewed emphasis on this effort and I’m looking forward to continuing our current projects, like our Troop Pack Parties, and beginning some new traditions.
