The fight for the second-highest executive office in Texas government is a familiar one.
Incumbent Republican Dan Patrick and Democrat challenger Mike Collier face off for the second time, in a repeat of the 2018 race for Lieutenant Governor. The race has been an interesting one, with longtime Republicans like outgoing Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, Amarillo state Senator Kel Seliger, Corsicana state Rep. Byron Cook and Rep. Bennett Ratliff of Plano, endorsing Collier over Patrick.
Patrick coasted to victory in the 2022 Republican primaries, earning 76.6% of the vote. Patrick ramped up his campaign efforts in recent weeks, going on a statewide bus tour with 131 stops across Texas, including many rural areas. Patrick has also received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
Collier lost to Patrick in the 2018 Lieutenant Governor race. In 2014, he ran for state comptroller and lost to Glenn Hegar. Collier beat out Michelle Beckley and Carla Brailey in the March 2022 primary, earning 41.8% of the vote.
