Inside Texas Politics: The Race to Replace Davis
This week's edition of WFAA-TV's Inside Texas Politics with host Jason Wheeler, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy and Tribune Executive Editor Ross Ramsey leads off with two candidates vying for the Senate District 10 seat being vacated by Wendy Davis. Jason and Bud talk with Republican Konni Burton and Democrat Libby Willis, who outlined their differences ahead of one of the state's most closely contested races this election cycle.
Also: the politics behind land commissioner candidate George P. Bush's announcement he won't endorse his father Jeb Bush for president in 2016, should he decide to run; the Texas Enterprise Fund, administered by Gov. Rick Perry, which has come under fire after a scathing audit was released last week; and Jason, Bud and Ross look ahead to this week's debates between lieutenant governor candidates Leticia Van de Putte and Dan Patrick on Monday and gubernatorial candidates Greg Abbott and Davis on Tuesday.
