Yarborough and Bush Eye Texas Senate Seat
The Texas Senate race to replace the retiring Democrat Yarborough features veteran Yarborough against younger Republican Bush. Both campaign actively with more speeches and press releases as Bush backs Nixon on many issues and Yarborough opposes cuts to education and health funds. They clash over oil tax policy, post office reform, and approaches to Vietnam, while Bush emphasizes border matters and Mexican American outreach.
