Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is pushing back against the thought of eliminating partisanship from judicial elections.
In a statement Friday, one day after the new Texas Commission on Judicial Selection met for the first time and identified partisan judicial elections as a major problem, Patrick issued a statement saying he was surprised it appeared the commission supported eliminating partisanship before it began hearings.
