Ratliff Named Texas Senate Lieutenant Governor Pick
Bill Ratliff, longtime Texas senator from Mount Pleasant, was chosen by state senators to replace Rick Perry as lieutenant governor designate. Historians and colleagues hail him as wise and steady, likening him to Obi-Wan Kenobi for his fiscal insight and steady leadership. Ratliff will serve as second in command, guiding the Senate and controlling legislative flow while maintaining the open office ethos his supporters praise. He acknowledged the new duties and emphasized order, efficiency, and implementer leadership, while past criticism over homosexual appointment votes remains a noted past controversy.
