The Houston Chronicle , Sadler, 57, a father of five who served in the Texas House from 1991 to 2003, is an East Texas Democrat from the classic mold a populist with common sense and a keen understanding of budgets, as well as a knack for honest deal-making, looking out for the interests of working Texans and understanding the importance of keeping government spending in line with revenues.
The Dallas Morning News, Texas Democrats have a proven legislator in former state Rep. Paul Sadler, who clearly deserves his partys nomination in the race to replace retiring GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
The San Antonio Express-News, Sadler is up to speed on a broad range of domestic and foreign policy subjects. He is the only Democrat who will be able to go toe to toe in a contest with a well-funded Republican opponent.
The Austin American Statesman, Paul Sadler is the clear choice. His legislative skill and talent cant be denied.
The Austin Chronicle, In the Texas House (1991-2003), Sadler was a champion of education and health care, and a budget maven. Hes also the only Democrat on the ballot with even a remote chance to take on the Republican nominee.
