In Texas the Lt. Governor is actually more powerful than the governor. It was the way the Dems created it after Reconstruction ended. It is also why the Texas governorship traditionally was occupied by political lightweights who didn’t have the power to get appointed/ elected US senator for Texas.
Lots of money to be collected from donors if they keep the current system in place. Not like NRA is going to primary the TX senate GOPers. Just look at the worthless vehicle inspection sticker scam that benefits a few GOP donors.
