"Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R) filed paperwork Tuesday to run for the state’s open Senate seat, and he enters the race as the prohibitive frontrunner to replace retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R).
Jim Bognet, who has worked for former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2010 California governor candidate Steve Poizner and Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, will serve as Dewhurst’s campaign manager."
