Patrick still eyeing lieutenant governor’s race

Sen. Dan Patrick said Thursday he’s still weighing whether to run for lieutenant governor.

Patrick, a Houston Republican and talk-radio host, said he’s ruled out a bid for either comptroller or U.S. Senate.

The post of lieutenant governor, he said, is where he could advance “my conservative vision” and achieve the most.

“That’s why I would run. It has nothing to do with David Dewhurst,” Patrick said.
