20 Texas Senators Endorse Lt. Governor Patrick's Reelection

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s (R) reelection campaign gained major momentum this week as all 20 Republican members of the Texas Senate officially endorsed his reelection bid.

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.

Lieutenant Governor Patrick expressed gratitude for the collective backing from his Republican colleagues, calling it a reflection of both mutual respect and the effectiveness of their collaborative leadership.

It’s their strong conservative principles and teamwork that make this institution work well.”
