Statement Of Hank Gilbert Regarding Kay Bailey Hutchison Resignation Announcement

TYLER—Hank Gilbert (D-Whitehouse), a candidate for Texas Governor, issued the following statement regarding the announcement by U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison that she will postpone resignation from her seat in the U.S. Senate until at least after the March Primary:

“Anyone who says they are shocked by her announcement hasn’t followed the lengthy trail of broken promises she’s left in her wake, starting with her promise to serve only two terms. She is an unreliable and undependable public servant who dodges and weaves as it suits her political ambitions. Senator Hutchison has left her supporters and contributors holding the bag once again.”
