Lots of campaign announcements have reached our desk in the last few days. Here are some of the highlights:
* Elizabeth Ames Jones announced that W.A. "Tex" Moncrief, Ed Whitacre, and George P. Mitchell will be co-chairs of her campaign.
* Seth McKinney is no longer running for the Texas House of Representatives. (LSR previously did a blog post on his announcement).
* Ted Cruz received endorsements from three former chairmen of the Republican Party of Texas: Tina Benkiser, Cathie Adams, and George Strake. Cruz has also been endorsed by George P. Bush.
* Conservative Republicans of Texas endorsed Barry Smitherman for the Texas Railroad Commission.
