Author, commentator announces GOP candidacy for governor
Lisa Fritsch
There is another woman in the race for governor, a black tea party conservative and seventh-generation Texan who said she was “called” to bring a fresh face and voice to the 2014 gubernatorial race.
Lisa Fritsch, a writer and commentator on KLBJ-AM radio for nearly a decade, announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor Tuesday before an exuberant crowd of supporters at Mighty Fine Burgers, Fries and Shakes in North Austin.
