"Former Bush Advisor Matthew Dowd Teases Run Against Patrick for Lt. Gov. Seat"

Snip
"Dowd expressed his discomfort with Texas current leaders.
He describes Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton as craven, cruel, and crook.
“One’s craven. One’s cruel. And one’s a crook. And they need to go. I wish they had the gumption or wish they had the strength to resign after how much they failed the state. They won’t. So I’ll do whatever I can, in any way I can, to help in that.”

"Dowd has pledged his alliance to Texas Democrats and said he would help them win in 2022, and for the looks of it, that includes a possible run for Lt. Governor."

He brings the Bush loyal voters who also despise how Abbott has disgraced their State, & yes there are a good number of them.
And they come with Big $$$$ which will be needed to defeat the bankroll of who we're up against.

There is no way to defeat this Tx corruption without drawing in what Dowd can bring.
That is a fact. Especially with the brutal gerrymandering taken place.
Abbot has allowed their corruption to protect & insulate themselves as much as possible.

Dowd campaigned on the road with Beto.
And he brings some solid supporters from the Bush Repubs as well as their much needed deep pockets.
