If Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison doesn’t resign by the January filing date for candidates, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Wednesday he will simply run for the post he currently holds.
“I’m not going to get into a race where a vacancy doesn’t exist,” he said, adding he’s focusing on his current job and will consider a run for senator only if Hutchison resigns in the coming months.
“I don’t want to be distracted unless there’s a position open,” he said, speaking to the Reporter-Telegram editorial board while in town Wednesday.
As lieutenant governor, Dewhurst said he is working to put together topics for Senate committees to consider during the interim.
