U.S Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was in Houston Wednesday to attend a “Women for Kay” lunch, one of several events held around the state in support of her bid to become Governor of Texas.
While she was here to raise money and talk about why she would be a better Governor than Rick Perry, Senator Hutchison also answered reporters’ questions about her plans to step down to devote more time to her campaign for the March 2010 GOP primary.
When asked by 2 On The Beat, Senator Hutchison stressed that her plan has been consistent from the first day she announced her intention to run for Governor.
She says she plans to stay in Washington for as long as necessary to keep fighting for what’s best for Texas. The Senator says she wants to be a voice and a vote against Health Care Reform, Cap and Trade and other bills that, if passed, could have a negative impact on the Lone Star State.
Meanwhile, the lunch featured dozens of prominent women including Bellaire Mayor Cindy Siegal, Sugarland city council member Jacqueline Bailey Chaumette, Harris County Tax Assessor Beverly Kaufmann, Realtor Martha Turner, former Presidential Advisor Karen Hughes, Courtney Sarofim and socialite Joan King Herring.
