Texas Tribune by Patrick Svitek June 21, 2019

State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, met this week with the top Democrat in the U.S. Senate as he mulls a challenge to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

West has been viewed as a potential candidate for months but has not said much publicly about his deliberations over whether to challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. If West enters the U.S. Senate race, he would have to contend with a Democratic field that already includes MJ Hegar, the former U.S. House candidate. Schumer met with Hegar in March.

At least two other Democrats are also still weighing a run: Houston City Councilwoman Amanda Edwards and Chris Bell, the former Houston congressman and 2006 gubernatorial nominee.

The only way I know of that Texas could get a worse senator than Cornyn this time around is if they elected Royce West!

Taking advice from a New Yorker will ensure the election of a Republican to the Senate in the state of Texas.
