In a likely case of GOP voters balking at a Hispanic name, David Porter overcame a huge funding advantage to knockout incumbent Texas Railroad Commissioner Victor Carrillo in the March primary.
Lobby Watch reviews Porter's previous role in spending piles of Leininger cash to back Mark Williams--a failed challenger to Rep. Tommy Merritt in the 2006 GOP Primary.

Read about this railroad Porter and that bizarre 2006 race in the new Lobby Watch.
