Although Republicans have won every statewide race in Texas since 1996, each of the GOP incumbents in the races for attorney general and the state’s two highest courts face challengers in the Nov. 2 general election.
Campaigning in the shadow of the fiercely fought gubernatorial contest between Republican Gov. Rick Perry and Democratic challenger Bill White, the candidates for attorney general, Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals have attracted little attention to their races so far. With the exception of Attorney General Greg Abbott, who had $11.8 million in his campaign account as of Sept. 23, the most recent date for which information is available, the candidates have modest amounts, or in some cases, no money available to get their message out to voters prior to the election, according to campaign finance reports posted on the Texas Ethics Commission’s website. Early voting for the election begins Oct. 18 and continues through Oct. 29.
