Thank you Mr. Goldwater for your excellent public service in the US Senate! God bless Texas and let’s keep it red!

Texas is a winnable state for Democrats; I remember when I removed the last of the Oregon Republican Senators in 2008 and we can do this in Texas in 2019 and 2020. For this special election, I hope Democrats have the good sense to keep candidacies to a minimum to have the best shot of prevailing in the jungle primary. #TurnTexasBlue

Texans deserve better from their Congressional delegates than racebaiting conspiracy theories. The decency and charity of real Texans has always warmed my heart, and in this special election, we have a unique opportunity to upend a cycle of Republicans taking the Lone Star State for granted. Lets #TurnTexasBlue and help Texans get a real voice in the Senate.

Fort Worth, Texas

The static television buzzed in the background of the living room in the Cramp family home. Randy walked into the kitchen from the back door that lead to his expansive backyard, he had been shooting, and took his rifle and rested it against the kitchen table. He made his way into the living room, where the television was still going. The kids probably forgot to turn it off after watching their cartoons, naturally, he flicked it onto the local Fox channel. He usually did this to see if there were any news segments about himself. He liked those. But there was only one story breaking the news. Senator Goldwater had resigned. A Texas Special Election was planned. Randy no longer worked as a Judge. An opening emerged.

He called out down the hallway to his wife, as he was taking off his boots. "Honey, honey, honey!"

His wife later emerged into the living room. "What is it?"

Randy pointed at the television as he explained. "Do you remember my old friend, Greg. Greg, uhm, Greg Henry? I was talking to him about running for the state house in 2018?"

She nodded. "Yes, I do vaguely remember him."

"Yeah, well, I'm going to call him up again. He owes me a favor - and this is going to be big," when he paused, the television began to explain the jungle primary.

"You're going to run, for Senate?" She said, startled.

"I think I will," Randy said, pulling the phone off the wall to contact his friend.

Randy Cramp @RandyCrampy I've officially filed by intention to run for Texas Senate. I intend to bring back Judeo-Christian values to government and fight for Texas.

Unable to get the private numbers of some of the important individuals in the country, Randy sent emails to their offices.

TO: Governor Jonah Prendergast Jr
FROM: Randall Cramp

Good day,

This is Randy Cramp, former Judge in Fort Worth, Texas. You may have heard my case on the news, I'm fighting for religious freedom in the courts against the Texan State Commission. I'm also running for Texas Senate. I would like to have a chat with you, if you have the spare time. I understand you are a busy man though, Governor.

Cheers,

Randy.

TO: [Randall Cramp]

Hello Justice Cramp!

I've heard about your case and your related advocacy, and whilst it's a bit early for me to throw myself behind one candidate in particular, I'd certainly be glad to talk. Feel free to send a call through to my office at [NUMBER] until I can come down to Texas in person. Been planning to come down for a while now!

Yours,

Jonah

[Puertollano]

Randy dialed up the number into his landline.

"Hello, this is Randy here. Am I speaking to the Governor Prendergast's office?"

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Randy dialed up the number into his landline.

"Hello, this is Randy here. Am I speaking to the Governor Prendergast's office?"

"Hello there, Justice Cramp. We've been expecting your call, we'll connect you through to the Governor now."

There was a click, before it'd fizz through to Jonah's phone.

"Randy Cramp?"

Thank you @governorchambers for the support! Texans should know that a #BrookshireBudget will happen if elected, a budget that will finally represent our values and stop frivoulous spending!

@BrookshireGal

And if the Texan people can keep our steady focus on fixing this budget problema and keeping the money in the hands of Americans, then I swear we can #KeepTexasRed!

I hope the Texan people will understand this election will be between spending more money on foreign countries and costly programs, specifically money we don't have OR FINALLY giving back our hardworking Americans their hard-earned money! It's time to #FightForAmerica

"Randy Cramp?"

"Yes, hello Govenor. Thank you for taking my call. As I'm sure you know, the Texas Special isn't far off. I wanted to talk to you about it."

[Gordano and Lysandus]

"Yes, hello Govenor. Thank you for taking my call. As I'm sure you know, the Texas Special isn't far off. I wanted to talk to you about it."

"Of course, of course." He nodded as he spoke into his phone. "You're a good man, Justice Cramp, taking on the Obergefell nonsense. I admire that about you. I think you'd make a good Senator for Texas."

"Well, we'll see how it goes. We might be able to get it overturned - that'd be a victory for Christians around this great nation. I'm glad you think that, Mr. Governor, and I know you said you didn't want to endorse anyone yet, but you're a rockstar out here Mr Governor. Your endorsement will mean the world, and I was just thinking that I believe you should endorse someone before the open primary. It'd be useful to get yourself more allies in there, in the Presidential Primary. If I could win with your endorsement, I'd be the most enthusiastic supporter of your campaign. And they'd you have the advantage over Richardson in our biggest delegate state!"

"Actually, California has the highest number of delegates, but let's not split hairs. I wasn't aware I was so popular down there. I'm certainly impressed by your record as a judge, but becoming a Senator is a big step. Are you prepared for the stress? The strain?" He asked gently, wanting to get more of an idea of what kind of man he was actually dealing with here.

"I'm a working kind of guy, I don't mind hard-work. In fact, over these last couple of weeks while I've been off from work, it's been driving me crazy. I need to get back into it, so I'm ready and rearing to take on Washington D.C." He paused. "It's not like the Justice of the Peace isn't an elected position, I was elected to be the Judge, then re-elected and re-elected, so on and so forth. I know politics, even if it's just in Fort Worth."

"I'll be upfront that I can't make an endorsement this soon. Texas is very important to our Party, especially as it gets purpler and purpler, so we need to be ready to take on that challenge with more poise than politics than we used to. However, the fact that you went out of your way to talk to me so soon means a lot, and raises you in my estimations significantly. If this doesn't work out, I know for sure that I'll be putting you on the federal bench."

Nathaniel Richardson

Richardson saw the news, talked with his team and tweeted out about the surprise Texas race, now for the next part of his plan he texted Laura Dunn in Germany.

Laura, have you seen the news about the Texas special? Please call me when you get the chance.

Shooting off the text he await a response, all the while re-arranging his schedule to accommodate the new developments.

"Oh, ok," he said, as he pulled out his phone and googled what the Federal Bench was. "Oh, wow. Governor, that's an incredible offer. You've just made a mans day, but right now I'm focused on the Senate election. I understand that you can't endorse anyone yet, I just want to keep my name at the back of your mind."
