Bosque County's State Senator J P Word told The Clifton Record he might run for lieutenant governor if Sen Ralph Hall does not pursue the post. Word and Hall are close friends and Word said he is 90 percent sure Hall will run, with an outside chance Hall could change his mind. If Hall runs Word would likely seek his Senate seat again, possibly facing Sen Tom Craighton if redistricting places them together.
