Empower Texans largely off the battlefield so far, Speaker Bonnen doing in-kind polling for potentially vulnerable Republicans with a notable exception
Yesterday we posted a
roundup of campaign finance reports as they trickled out of the TEC.
There were few surprises. But on the second day of
going through campaign finance reports, there are some hints of fractured
allegiances, possible retirements and a potential violation of Speaker Dennis
Bonnen’s
demand that members not campaign against incumbents.

But some of those surprise numbers are being posted by those who are new to the game
The first
campaign finance reports ahead of what is expected to be a competitive campaign
season are starting to trickle out of the Texas Ethics Commission.
With potentially vulnerable Democrats and Republicans alike on the ballot in
the Legislature, Texas has perhaps not seen so many competitive
seats in at least a decade.
The
numbers this early on are not entirely illuminating –– the parties still haven’t
lined up challengers in some competitive seats, but we now have access to the
fundraising numbers for some of the high-stakes races.

West has set a “major announcement” for later this month: “Well, the more, the merrier,” said Cornyn. Of potential candidates, he added West is “the only one I know who actually has a record of public service as a Texas senator”
Sen. Royce West
has scheduled what he calls “a special announcement” on July 22, which many
expect to be West’s entrance into the U.S. Senate race.
Gains during the 2018 election cycle – and the election
machine created by Beto O’Rourke – have emboldened Democrats
to consider larger races. U.S. Sen. Ted
Cruz called his tight victory over O’Rourke a
mandate for jobs and security.

Partisan clash over President Obama’s signature health care reform could be on track to be center stage before the SCOTUS in time for the 2020 election
Opponents of the Affordable Care Act found a
receptive audience in the three-judge panel hearing at challenge to the
constitutionality of the nation’s health care law.
Robert Henneke,
general counsel at the Texas Public Policy Foundation,
served as the plaintiffs’ attorney in today’s appeal in New Orleans, which saw
Texas and the federal government on the same side of the case.
The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives and
Democratic states argued the individual mandate to buy insurance – which was
struck down in 2017 – could be severed from the current health care law, and
the health care law could continue to stand.
