Latest news Debra Medina, a registered nurse and Republican activist from Wharton County, comes to the campaign for Governor of the State of Texas with a non-traditional perspective on politics. With polls showing her between 3 and 7 percent, she would have to pull off one of the greatest surges ever to overtake her opponents, both seasoned with multiple victories statewide representing the Republican Party.

In a season where political ads in the Republican primary have attempted to establish who should be allowed to carry the mantle of true conservatism, Medina definitely draws the position for furthest to the right on the political spectrum. A vote for Medina really boils down to opposition to the 20 year record of statewide office for Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and a vote for the values Medina represents and the change she hopes to bring to the Republican Party.

To understand Medina’s candidacy, you need to know her history with the Republican Party. Two years ago at the State Convention of the Republican Party, Medina challenged Tina Benkiser for the chair of the party, advocating for greater adherence to the party platform and a push for a platform similar to the policies of Congressman Ron Paul her political mentor. Benkiser won the election after a remarkable amount of drama on the convention floor.
