Senate Democratic Caucus weighs Perry replacement picks
Democrats in Texas weigh candidates to replace Lt. Gov. Perry as Bush resignation triggers Senate rule changes. Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio and Buster Brown of Lake Jackson emerge as Democrats’ favored Republicans likely to cooperate across the aisle amid a 16-15 GOP Senate majority. Barrientos says support hinges on fairness, committee assignments, and bipartisan redistricting. Perry’s swearing in and the 30 day window to appoint a successor loom as the session nears.
