Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, one of Texas’ most prominent Republican local leaders, is backing Lt. Gov.“The one person who I'll support statewide that will get me a little in trouble: Mike Collier for lieutenant governor,” Whitley said on Y’all-itics, a WFAA politics podcast.
Meanwhile, Whitley said Tarrant County jails are housing more than 700 inmates that should be in state custody without additional funding from the state. The COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to make jail transfers contributed to state inmates being held in county jails,“We’re paying 20 million plus a year because the state is not paying anything and yet they're sitting down there talking about all the cash that they've got,” Whitley said.
Whitley said he is backing Collier because of Collier’s experience controlling budgets. Collier, an accountant and auditor from the Houston area, is a self-described.” Collier also worked as a landman for Exxon, which Whitley said indicated the Democratic nominee understood the oil business. The Texas lieutenant governor oversees the state’s 31-member Senate, making him the most powerful elected official in the Texas Legislature. The officeholder can dictate much of the state’s policy by influencing which bills move forward and which ones are halted.
Eff Patrick!
CollierForTexas is everything that a Texas voter should be looking for. An accountant by training, Collier is going to look at the numbers and make the right decisions for Texans. We need to get extremistz, like Dan Patrick, out of Austin. Judge Whitley know that.

MJ_love1sky 🙏🏾
I wont, so I guess I cancel his vote out
This legitimately shocked me in the best possible way. Can you endorse BetoORourke too?
We will do the same in November
That is great, but I mean really, how can anyone in good conscience support Patrick, the biggest criminal in the state, for the office of ATTORNEY GENERAL?
That's his prerogative...
The 'good' Republicans vote for Democrats lol. If they were actually good they wouldn't be Republicans but ok.
Well, good for Glen Whitley. nobodygivesaratsass
A Republican voting against another Republican for limiting property taxes...this is where they are now. Meanwhile, there are tons of other reasons to oppose DanPatrick though.
Voting against Dan Patrick is an act consistent with a love of democracy, human rights, The United States and Texas.
Country over party. Texas over party.
Whitney is a fine, upstanding person who calls it like he sees it!
