Texas Democrats back White with mixed editorial emphasis
Editorial pages across Texas endorsed Gov. Mark White in the Democratic gubernatorial race while avoiding a clear cross-state favorite in the GOP contest. Newspapers praised White’s education push and distance from oil dependence, but split on candidates. Clements drew solid GOP support from Dallas Morning News and others for fiscal leadership, while Hance Loeffler and Loeffler offered mixed appeal. Some papers warned of a likely White rematch, others urged waiting for November.
