Royce West touts political experience for Senate primary in appeal to Dallas Democrats
State Sen. Royce West is talking up his longtime experience in the Texas Legislature as he campaigns for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.
During a Dallas luncheon speech Wednesday hosted by the Dallas County Democratic Party, West pointed to his efforts to address problems with health care, education and policing throughout his 26-year career in the Texas Senate.
"I don't say that to brag," West, a lawyer from Dallas, told the more than 100 attendees. "I'm telling you this to tell you exactly what I've done over the course of being the state senator for Senate District 23."
West said that his experience would be an asset in the U.S. Senate if he's elected and that his long record makes him someone who would fight for the ideals Democrats care about.
