Stogner, who lost in a Republican primary runoff to incumbent Wayne Christian, said she’s endorsing Luke Warford.
she got from a West Texas rancher and friend who had been battling the Railroad Commission over abandoned oil wells on her property.
Stogner said she was supporting Warford, a former state Democratic Party staffer running on fixing the power grid, because she simply believed he would do the job better. She also said in a statement that he is not “your typical Democrat,” calling him “pragmatic and pro-business.” "For months, Sarah Stogner lied to voters about her party affiliation and political beliefs," Christian said in a statement."Now that Republicans have rejected her radical agenda, it is no surprise she would support her party’s nominee."
Stogner’s endorsement comes as another Democratic statewide candidate, Mike Collier, has also been picking up Republican endorsements,Asked if she still considered herself a Republican, Stogner said she felt politically “homeless” right now but is still a “conservative.” She emphasized that her endorsement of Warford does not mean she is voting for the highest-profile Democrat running statewide, gubernatorial hopeful Beto O’Rourke.
“Until we have better options, I’m not sticking to the party line,” Stogner said, referring to her attention-getting ad and expressing hope that voters would focus on policy relevant to the commission this fall. “Let’s get over the tits and look at the issues.”
