Burton for Land Commissioner

Aug 31st, 2009
by Charles Kuffner.

Via BOR, we have a report of a new statewide Democratic candidate, former Henderson County Justice of the Peace Bill Burton, who is running for Land Commissioner. I don’t know the man, but I hope to learn more about him. Incumbent Land Commish Jerry Patterson doesn’t have a huge war chest – $564K as of July, after raising a similar amount in 2006, so Burton doesn’t start in as deep a hole as some other candidates. We’ll see how he does. Greg has more.

    Thanks for reporting the news! I am Bill Burton a Democratic candidate for Land Commissioner for this great State of Texas. My hope is that a war chest ( making reference to a past issue, August 31, 2009 by Charles kuffner) is not what decides the next Land commissioner. I am from a small town, but I have prepared myself over the last twenty six years for such a challenge. I would be happy to debate the current Land Commissioner, and let the people of Texas decide.

    Judge Bill Burton hit the ground running and he’s not looking back!
