Trial Lawyer-Backed Candidates Routed Tuesday Night

Big trial lawyer spending comes up empty-handed; voters choose pro-business & jobs approach Texas Insider Report: Austin Texas   Voters have sent a clear message to Texas trial lawyers what part of no" dont you understand" said Texans for Lawsuit Reforms Dick Trabulsi following Tuesdays Republican Primary Election in which State Rep. Larry Taylor amongst others withstood million dollar assaults from Houston hurricane lawyer Steve Mostyn.  

Tuesday nights election results prove once again that Texas voters support lawsuit reform and principled candidates who stand up to personal injury trial lawyers.  Trial lawyers were not successful even when hiding behind deceptively named groups and donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates said Trabulsi.  

Trabulsi noted that in State Senate races State Rep. Larry Taylor withstood a million dollar assault from vengeful Houston hurricane lawyer Steve Mostyn to win the GOP nomination in the Houston-Galveston area.  State Rep. Kelly Hancock easily defeated a personal injury trial lawyer in Arlington and in Senate District 25 two-thirds of voters rejected the incumbent Jeff Wentworth an ally of plaintiff  trial lawyers who took over $700000 dollars from them in the 30-day run-up before the election.

We are extremely gratified that a majority of voters in Senate District 25 have rejected the trial-lawyer backed incumbent and clearly want a new state senator.  And while we are disappointed that Elizabeth Ames Jones has come up short in the final count we are very proud of the tough and honest campaign she ran.  Elizabeth is an accomplished leader who has made countless contributions to the State of Texas and we are confident she will continue her commitment to public service.  TLR PAC looks forward to participating in the SD 25 run-off to make sure that the voters understand the incumbents connection to the personal injury trial lawyers."
