The_Dislikable_Dewhurst

The Dislikable Dewhurst Dewhurst’s inexperience in politics and his lack of political savvy, if elected, may very well end up costing Texas in the long run. So far, his Democratic opponent, John Sharp, has been getting more support from the Republicans of the state. Dewhurst has also missed his opportunity to gain support from the majority of the members in the Texas Senate. During last year’s sessions, Dewhurst met with several Republicans who believed that he would agree with and vote on their recommendations to redraw the districts. Dewhurst turned on the senators by voting differently than he had promised; therefore, gaining a detrimental lack of trust between himself and the members of the Senate. The most important job that the lieutenant governor possesses is Chair of the Senate. The lieutenant governor must have good working relationships as well as the trust of a universe of local and statewide officials in order to clarify and set the Senate’s agenda. When David Dewhurst failed to follow through with a simple promise with the senators last year, he lost his opportunity to be an effective lieutenant governor, if elected.
