    In the Republican primary on March 2, two-term Governor Rick Perry faced Kay Bailey Hutchison, the current Senator from Texas, and Debra Medina, with Perry winning his party’s nomination with 51 percent of the votes cast.  On the same day, seven candidates sought the Democratic nomination; former Mayor of Houston Bill White won the party’s primary in a landslide, capturing 76 percent of the vote. Many third-party and independent candidates are seeking to appear on the ballot in November’s general election. Five are running for the Libertarian nomination. That nomination will be decided at the LP of Texas State Convention in June.
