Downballot Democratic prospects

[PDittie]

HouChron, behind the paywall:

State Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, said he is considering a run for attorney general.

"Politics is about timing," Uresti said. "And I certainly think it's the right time for the Democratic Party, and for myself as well."

Other candidates being courted by Democrats to make the leap are state Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, who has more than $1 million in his campaign account, state Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas and state Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin. None returned calls for comment.

So far, besides (potentially) Davis for governor and LVDP for lite gov, Mike Collier has declared for comptroller and former El Paso mayor John Cook is in for GLO.
