A: The best candidate for voters to support is the one they choose. I think we’ve had enough of candidates tearing each other down to build themselves up. I’ve served my Country as a soldier, my community as an Assistant District Attorney, Assistant Attorney General and Judge. Now, I’d like to serve the people of Texas if they believe I’m worthy of that honor. I don’t know if that makes me the best, but it is the best I have to offer.
