TONY SANCHEZ, SPEAKER PRICE AMONG THOUSANDS WHO HAVE SIGNED CAROLE KEETON STRAYHORN’S PETITION
(AUSTIN) – In a show of bipartisan support for her campaign, Independent Gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn announced that former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Tony Sanchez and Republican and former Speaker of the Texas House Rayford Price have signed her petition to place her name on the November ballot.
“Republicans, Democrats and Independent signers are all Texans who care about the future of Texas and know that Carole Keeton Strayhorn will shake up state government in Austin,” she said.
Sanchez was the Democratic Party’s nominee for Governor in 2002. Price served as Speaker of the House in 1972 and became a Republican in May of 1973.
“Carole Strayhorn is committed to making the kind of changes we need in education,” Price said. “She will put the children’s interests ahead of the special interests.”
Sanchez said: “Carole cares passionately about our state and cares passionately about issues that are important to Texans, such as education. She has been my friend for over 20 years.
“She is an honest person and an ethical person and she will be a governor who will be very inclusive,” he said. “My family and I have a lot of respect for her.”
