In a press release from his campaign, Lieutenant Governor Patrick announced the endorsements, emphasizing the importance of unity and shared conservative values among Senate leadership. The show of support comes as the lieutenant governor continues to position himself as a key figure in advancing Texas’ conservative legislative agenda.

“These 20 men and women know Dan Patrick the best and each has added their name to the campaign’s endorsement list,” the statement read.
