Two in cowboy hats.

One is a perennial candidate..preacher, used car salesman
The other looks like a redneck

There is an anti-vaxxer who came in last place in a primary for a precinct seat of justice of the peace..It's a she. She isn't wearing a cowboy hat...yet

But I have to think there will be some serious candidates running in the Democratic primary.

Beto has a lot of supporters but I would bet the farm he will not be the only serious Democratic candidate.
