Austin, TX — Today, Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) announced its full slate of state and federal endorsements for the 2012 primary runoffs.

“Runoffs are where the grassroots can have the largest impact on the election, so it’s imperative that strong socially- and fiscally-minded conservatives get out to vote on July 31st,” said YCT State Chairman Jeff Morris. “Many of the candidates YCT endorsed in their respective primaries are now in runoffs, and we need these great conservative candidates in Austin.”

YCT is also pleased to announce that Wes Riddle (TX-25), Donna Campbell (SD-25), Tom Maynard (SBOE, District 10), Tucker Anderson (HD-12), and Steve Nguyen (HD-115) have received the organization’s endorsement for the runoff election.
