Abbott Endorsement

  • Governor Greg Abbott has officially endorsed Shelley Luther for Texas House District 62. In his statement, Abbott praised Luther as an "unapologetic conservative fighter" who would champion core values important to Texans. He highlighted Luther’s commitment to securing the border, eliminating property taxes, and advancing school choice legislation. Luther, a Republican, is known for her vocal stance on conservative issues and was a candidate in previous elections against Rep. Reggie Smith.

Patrick Endorsements

LT Gov Dan Patrick has released a new list of Texas Senate endorsements:

  • Sen. Paul Bettencourt

  • Sen. Angela Paxton

  • Sen. Phil King

  • Sen. Tan Parker

  • Sen. Joan Huffman

  • Sen. Donna Campbell

  • Adam Hinojosa

  • Brent Hagenbuch

State House Campaign Ads

  • Kristian Carranza (D) has released her first TV ad for the general election in the race for Texas House District 118. The district, located in the San Antonio area, is expected to be a competitive battleground in the 2024 elections. Carranza, who won the GOP nomination, is working to flip the seat currently held by Rep. John Lujan (R), and this ad marks the beginning of her media efforts leading up to November. We rate this district as a toss-up.

US Senate Campaign Ads

  • U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D) has released a new television ad as part of his campaign for U.S. Senate, where he is challenging incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in the 2024 election. The ad is part of an increasing number of spots airing statewide as both campaigns ramp up their media presence. Allred, a former NFL player with the Tennessee Titans, included a subtle nod to his football past by featuring a Houston Oilers throwback.

We hope you enjoyed today’s read.
