They're mixing it up with early voting approaching: Democrat Clayton Tucker asks Texas GOP Chair Randall to declare sheets ineligible, Sheets' campaign fires back that Tucker is an "'organizer' for a radical left-wing group"
The major
party nominees for Texas Agriculture Commissioner spent part of their Tuesday
arguing over whether GOP candidate Nate Sheets has met the requirements requirements to hold the office – an argument that was
raised earlier this year in Sheets’ Republican primary against outgoing
Commissioner Sid Miller.
In a
letter to Republican Party of Texas Chair D'rinda
Randall, Clayton Tucker's attorney laid out the Democratic nominee’s
case for declaring Sheets ineligible to lead the Texas Department of
Agriculture.

The news via
the New York Times:
Top
national Democrats are preparing to make an initial investment in the Texas
Senate race, a strategic shift that speaks to the party’s growing confidence in
a state that has dashed its hopes for decades.mThe
main super PAC for Senate Democrats, Senate Majority PAC, said on Tuesday that
it would begin an advertising effort meant to help James Talarico, the
Democratic nominee, by targeting his Republican opponent, Ken Paxton.
The super
PAC, which is aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, had so
far resisted spending money in Texas, viewing the party’s path to a majority as
running through smaller states where advertising is cheaper.
The group
declined to provide a figure or a range for its planned spending in Texas.

In this guest op-ed, Republican data scientist John Eakin argues that TEAM's failures are a state architecture problem and the Secretary of State's answer so far has been to hand the cleanup to the counties
A motivational poster
company in Austin has spent nearly three decades selling essentially the same
joke, framing failure as inspiration and calling it leadership. The
Despair, Inc. catalog endures because
its captions describe some real organizations better than their mission
statements do. These days, you could use the same jokes to describe what’s been
happening at the Texas Secretary of State’s Office.
When Texas spends $17
million on a statewide voter-registration system, voters should expect three
things: accurate records, accountable management, and a vendor contract the
state is willing to enforce. Nothing in the August Texas House Elections
Committee hearing on Texas Election Administration Management,
or TEAM, met that standard.
Five captions from the
Despair, Inc. catalog describe it exactly.
Perseverance: “The
courage to ignore the obvious wisdom of turning back.”

Democrats including Hinojosa joined with conservative Republicans Tony Tinderholt, Mitch Little, and others to defeat one of the key bills now highlighted by the governor’s campaign. The real story is House leadership was rolled by the Senate the same way Burrows surrendered to Patrick on school finance and THC last year
For at
least a month, Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign has carpet bombed Texas with TV
commercials putting the blame for rising property taxes solely on local
governments, most of which are run by Republicans.
This week Abbott
shifted and took direct aim at his Democratic opponent Rep. Gina Hinojosa,
announcing a $12 million ad buy claiming she voted 40 times in favor of higher
property taxes. So far Abbott is up to nearly $40
million spent on paid media while Hinojosa says she’s raised $20 million.
Now, the
truth is always the first casualty in any real campaign. Y’all know that. But
an objective examination of just one of those 40 property tax votes might reveal
some of the reasons this scorched-earth campaign might not be working.
