Strayhorn Declares Candidacy For Texas Governor Race
Carole Keeton Strayhorn announces she will challenge Gov. Rick Perry in the GOP primary. The Texas comptroller, 65, vows to replace the "drugstore cowboy" with a "tough grandma" as Perry vetoes education funding and calls lawmakers back for a school finance special session. The move comes with U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison still weighing a bid and other potential candidates. Strayhorn highlights education, paychecks, and jobs while tracing her public-service rise from Austin mayor to comptroller.
