"Patrick is running for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor against Dewhurst, Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples and Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. Their primary battle is expected to be the most hotly contested statewide race on the ballot next March. It also could be the most expensive. None of the issues pitched by Patrick on Friday came close to passage during the regular session this year, although the campus carry measure cleared the House. Patrick, Patterson and Staples are expected to highlight conservative issues that didn’t pass in recent sessions as they try unseat Dewhurst from the post he has held since 2003. Dewhurst, on the other hand, is expected to tout a list of conservative-backed measures that did pass on his watch."
