Texas Campaigns Heat Up After Primary Move
The Texas political scene heats as May and June primaries change campaigning tempo. Gov. Connally and rival Yarborough spoke to COPE but sought no endorsements while labor backed LBJ, Yarborough, and pro-Johnson lawmakers. Sullivan’s upset led to a 139-139 roll call, with COPE endorsing no Senate candidate. COPE pokes at Baker vs Pool, and a strong female candidate presence marks the Democratic and Republican rosters. Free voter registration runs through March 7 aiding federal election participation, while Texas unemployment hits a December high of 3,305,600 non farm jobs, and 1962 births total 244,069 as population nears 10 million.
