Observations:
- When the San Antonio court issues an interim map, there will be a 60 to 75 day sprint to the primary election. The cash on hand numbers are probably a pretty good indication of what the races will look like.
- Both Sen. Davis and Rep. Hancock put up strong numbers in SD 10.
- Rep. Anderson appears well positioned in SD 9 assuming Hancock runs in SD 10.
- Rep. Taylor is the clear favorite in SD 11, but has not raised sufficient funds so far to inoculate himself from a Steve Mostyn funding blitz.
- Rep. Schwertner remains the clear favorite in SD 5.
- Sen. Patrick breaks a $1 million, demonstrating fundraising ability to go with his statewide grassroots appeal should he run for Lieutenant Governor in 2014.
- Rep. Paxton is the overwhelming favorite in SD 8.
- Sen. Wentworth and Commissioner Jones are financially competitive with each other in SD 25.
- Finally -- it is good to be the Dean! Sen. Whitmire reports over $5 million.
