Meet the two candidates headed to the Democratic primary runoff election for Texas lieutenant governor. Early voting for Texas' runoff election runs until Friday, May 20. Election day is May 24.
Patrick’s reputation may also provide some positives in the general election for Collier and Beckley, though.“They have some opportunity there because he has a likability issue of his own,” said Kirby Goidel, a professor of political science at Texas A&M University. “He may be easier to run against than a Greg Abbott, but you need the money and you need the exposure to be able to make that case.
Goidel said becoming well-known and having positive name recognition are two hurdles Beckley and Collier will have to overcome in the primary. “I think the key is that voters are going to pick who is most electable,” Goidel said. “If you don’t have large policy issue differences, the real question is ‘Which candidate is more likable?’ and ‘Which candidate do you think could win?’ That drives a lot of primary voting.”With few policy differences between them, Goidel said endorsements can help distinguish the candidates from each other.
