Williams Tops Texas GOP Field With Cash Edge
Clayton Williams led the Texas Republican race with over 8 million dollars, six million of it his own, leveraging TV ads in a 20 market state. Opponents Kent Hance Tom Luce and Jack Rains trailed, while Richards Mattox and Wilhelmina Delco noted liberal wings. Analysts say Williams’ funding and media savvy dominated, though other candidates ran strong in various regions. Ed Martin and Ron Brown comment on party dynamics and perceived liberal shift.
