Debra Medina says Texas gubernatorial race all about principles — and she’ll win
Although badly trailing the two marquee names in polling for the Republican gubernatorial primary, Debra Medina said Friday she is confident she will outpoll Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison on Election Day.
Medina said her brand of conservative politics and experience as a small-business owner have positioned her ideally for the GOP nomination.
Speaking to the San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board on Friday, Medina said she wants Texas to have the authority to nullify federal laws that would negatively impact the state. She also said she wants to replace property taxes with an expanded sales tax.
Although she defines herself as a “career anti-abortion, rock-solid Republican,” Medina, 47, said she would not vote for either Perry or Hutchison in November if she were to lose the March 2 primary.
“I am about principles, not personality,” she said. “Their principles and mine don’t line up at all.”
