HD88, SD31 & Lubbock court race ballot recommendations from Pratt on Texas

Pratt on TexasWith early voting in the Republican Party’s primary election beginning Tuesday, 20 February, here are more of my recommendations and endorsement for local races on some ballots:

An important race for Texas House District 88 runs from the top of the Panhandle to the Plainview and Levelland areas. The incumbent Ken King, is ranked by the Rice University’s Baker Institute report as the third most liberal voting member of the Republican caucus. He needs to be sent home to Canadian and replaced with small businessman and conservative from Perryton, Jason Huddleston.

In the race for Texas Senate District 31 we have a chance to replace the most liberal Republican member of the Texas Senate, Kel Seliger. The reasons he needs to go are summed up in that Rice University ranking and I am endorsing Mike Canon for SD31.

In the race for Lubbock County Court-at-Law #3 both candidates would serve the court well. I’ll vote for David Nelson because of his decades of activity in the Republican Party.

The race for Lubbock County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2 is the most difficult for me as I know both Clemmie Payne and Susan Rowley will do a fine job. After interviewing and learning more about Mark Meurer I’m not so convinced he is a right fit for this job. I recently recommended Susan Rowley for municipal judge, a race lost in a runoff, and believe she would make a conscientious Justice of the Peace. I’ll vote for Susan Rowley but would not hesitate to vote for Clemmie Payne if making a different choice.
