Gettin' Heated: Incumbent Sid Miller and Texas Rep. James White Lock Horns in Primary Race for Ag Commissioner
: 34% say they’d back him, with 3% going for White, according to polling released in November by the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation.
On top of its responsibility for the state's agriculture, the Texas Department of Agriculture administers school lunch and breakfast programs for students. Still, this is the kind of race where most of the Texans who will pay attention are those who are involved in agriculture and are rurally based, Macaulay said.
Miller harkens back to the “rustic age of Texas politics” where one could be a flamboyant character, Marshall said. That fact likely drives a lot of more “mainstream” Republicans crazy. Jason Vaughn, president of the Houston Young Republicans, said he’s been friends with White for a long time. As a small beef farmer, White actually works in the industry. He’s also served six terms in the state House and chaired the committee to pass constitutional carry.
