Capitol Annex has learned that Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson contacted Lenard Nelson, a Libertarian candidate for State Representative in the hotly contested House District 32 race and broached the subject of abandoning the race.
According to Nelson (L-Rockport), who spoke to Capitol Annex Tuesday afternoon, Patterson called him and the two had a conversation in which he says Patterson, whom he knew casually through the Republican Liberty Caucus, didn’t directly ask him to abandon the race, but did broach the subject.
“We talked about hunting and fishing, and then the conversation turned to politics and I thold him how I was really into the race, really committed–it’s my second time to run–and to giving the Republicans and the Democrats a hard time,” Nelson said.
“And after that he said, ‘I guess there is no sense in me asking you to drop out then,’ Nelson said.
