Because I blog about national and international events as well as state and local events, I haven’t covered some state issues as extensively as I might have.
One of those is the down-ballot race between incumbent George P. Bush and Jerry Patterson (who formerly held the office before his unsuccessful Lt. Governor run in 2014). I didn’t want to vote for Bush, or against him, based merely on his last name. Also, I still haven’t had time to research the Alamo controversy that’s one of the key bones of contention in the race.
And then I came across this tweet of Land Commissioner Bush campaigning for Republican State Representative Jason Villalba:
What a great day for #TeamVillalba and #TeamBush. Working together to keep Texas the best place in the country to raise a family! We had a wonderful group of folks come out to walk for us and together, we hit over 1000 doors today – WooHoo!! @georgepbush #TxLege #Wow pic.twitter.com/rjx3Nxp39O

Actively campaigning for Villalba, a RINO who is clearly one of the worst legislators currently in office (and who you may remember from such hits as Let’s Make It illegal For Gun Owners and Bloggers To Photograph the Police and I Have A Whole Lot of Stupid Ideas) bespeaks of a distinct lack of judgement on Land Commissioner Bush’s part.
Based on that lack of judgement, BattleSwarm Blog is endorsing Jerry Patterson in the Land Commissioner’s race.
Texas can do better.
