Politics observers recently discussed a federal government lawsuit about redistricting maps in Texas, changes in this state’s Democratic primary election for the lieutenant governor position and more.
When it comes to Texas politics, perhaps the biggest piece of news concerns Matthew Dowd’s recent withdrawal from the election. According to Texas Tribune Political Reporter James Barragán, Dowd had achieved an abrupt political change. For the uninitiated, Dowd started as a Democratic Party member, worked with the US government under George Walker Bush, went independent and entered the election.
As per Barragán, Dowd decided to withdraw from the election since there is a field of more diverse hopefuls for the state lieutenant governor’s position. For your information, the election for the US state’s lieutenant governor role is slated for November next year. You can learn more about it from the recent podcast content of Texas Standard.
