Four Republicans seek state Comptroller seat
AUSTIN — The race for Texas Comptroller is heating up.
Comptroller Susan Combs announced she is retiring from her post, and four Republican candidates have stepped up to seek the job of the state’s chief financial officer.
On Tuesday, state Rep. Harvey Hilderbran, R-Kerrville, became the latest to announce his candidacy, although his impending run was well-known among House members.
“I will bring new ideas for how we can use the Comptroller’s office to fight for better results,” Hilderbran said in a release after his announcement in Kerrville. “The Comptroller’s office is enormously important, and I intend to use it to protect taxpayers, improve services, ensure fiscal responsibility and advance free enterprise.”

[font color=green]In addition to Hilderbran, the announced candidates include the state senator from my district, Glen Hegar of Katy, who sponsored the anti-abortion bill in the special session; Tea Party darling Debra Medina who ran for governor in 2010; and former representative Raul Torres of Corpus Christi who does have an accounting background.
I hope that they chew each other to pieces in the primary and a qualified Democrat trounces them in the general election.[/font]
