TX: Libertarians Nominate Kathie Glass for Governor

From Fort Bend Now:

Kathie Glass, a Houston attorney, has won the Libertarian Party’s nomination for governor.  Glass will face incumbent Gov. Rick Perry and former Houston mayor Bill White in the November gubernatorial election.  After being picked as the Libertarian Party’s candidate, Glass called the upcoming election “our time.”  “We will leave this convention as a united party,” Glass said.  “Texans want smaller government and more freedom.  This is the message that we bring.”

She also said Perry was “intent on running our state Washington D.C. style instead of Texas style.”  “Runaway taxes, exploding spending, escalating debt, ever-growing government, and confiscation of property so he can give it to foreign interests – where will it end?” Glass asked. Glass said she will reach out to voters who supported former GOP candidate Debra Medina, a conservative activist from Wharton who ran what many called an “insurgent campaign” in this Republican gubernatorial primary.
