US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyJohn Turner, a former state representative, is running for Nathan Johnson's Texas Senate seat. Johnson, who is becoming attorney general, has endorsed him.
Turner cites his four years in the Texas House as proof he can get results. His agenda includes better-funded schools, lower consumer costs and expanded Medicaid.
Johnson hasn't decided whether to resign before his January swearing-in or wait until he takes office. Either way, the governor will set a special election to finish out the term that ends in 2028.
