Texas Lieutenant Governor, Republican Runoff:

"Dan Patrick (R)-65%

David Dewhurst (Crony)-35%

63% precincts reporting"

Dan Patrick declared winner

5/27/14, "Texas Runoffs: Patrick wins Lt. Gov Nomination," AP, Patrick Tolbert, Austin

"State Sen. Dan Patrick has defeated three-term incumbent David Dewhurst for the Republican nomination for Texas lieutenant governor....

The loss likely ends Dewhurst’s political career. The Houston energy mogul has held statewide office since 1999 but has said this would probably be his final campaign."...
