The Dallas Morning News
Share

Share
Debra Medina has always been the third person in the Republican campaign for governor. In politics you need name ID and money, and
compared to her opponents, she has no money and limited name recognition. Which is why she is still the third person in the race.

She may not determine who wins, but she cannot be ignored.

But while the federal grants won't be announced until later this month, or early February, word already has emerged that Texas' chances of snagging much of what it has requested are slim.
