Glen Whitley, the top elected official in Tarrant County, has clashed with Patrick for years. He cited GOP-led state legislation over property taxes as a key reason for endorsing Mike Collier.

, a Republican from Lubbock and one of the architects of the property tax bill, said Whitley’s endorsement of Collier was reflective of “his contempt for people having the right to vote on excessive property tax increases.”Whitley is not seeking reelection this year. The potential successor he backed in 2022, former Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, lost to a Patrick-endorsed opponent, Tim O’Hare.

.” Collier also worked as a landman for Exxon, which Whitley said indicated the Democratic nominee understood the oil business.“And I just think he's someone who understands local control. And that's what I'm looking for,” added Whitley, who as county judge is the county’s top elected official and administrator. “We do everything. We're the front door for basically all the federal and the state services that the state and the federal government passed laws for us to do.
