Senate-hopeful and current Rep. Ken Paxton capped off last week’s stream of endorsements for Scott Sanford. The support was announced on Sanford’s website, Facebook page and in a postcard received in area mailboxes over the weekend. Paxton followed on Saturday with a recorded phone call. “Scott is a committed conservative . . . I’ve known Scott and his wife, Shelly, since our days at Baylor and I know he’ll represent Collin County well. Please vote today for Scott Sanford for State Rep,” Paxton said in the call. As Sanford meets voters in the district, he frequently recalls a lunch conversation last fall where Paxton suggested he run for the seat. Paxton announced his run for the Senate in September 2011. Sanford’s announcement followed in October.
