AUSTIN Former state Rep. Sid Miller signed Detroit rocker and self-proclaimed Madman Ted Nugent onto his campaign for agriculture commissioner Tuesday, hoping to put a stranglehold on a relatively low-profile statewide seat.
Miller, looking to boost his visibility in the race that also includes Texas musician and humorist Kinky Friedman as a Democratic candidate, reached an agreement to designate the outspoken and controversial Nugent as his campaign's treasurer and co-chair Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesman said the two are in the process of filing the necessary paperwork with the Texas Ethics Commission. Miller did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.
Nugent claimed Miller, R-Stephenville, as an American blood brother in a letter prior to being signed on, according to a media report. Nugent's role may be largely ceremonial, but his name recognition alone could be a boost for the candidate.
