Wentworth, Jones Turn Up the Heat in Senate Race
If there were any lingering doubts that the GOP primary race for Senate District 25 might not stand out as a no-holds-barred brawl, state Sen. Jeff Wentworth’s new TV ad probably took care of them.
The San Antonio Republican’s ad portrays challenger Elizabeth Ames Jones, the former chairwoman of the Texas Railroad Commission, as a marionette under the control of “a big business special interest group from Houston,” referring to the lobbyist group Texans for Lawsuit Reform.

I don't think Rep Wentwork has done enough for the state.

Senator Wentworth is such a small and petty person. His entire career has been a show of anger and hatred. His actions after the Texas State decision show he is more like a petulant child than an honorable state senator. He writes to Texas A&M on his senate stationary seeking a specific job title and salary. He lobbied state agencies as a registered lobbyist on behalf of companies all while still a member of the Texas Senate.
Wentworth has a well-earned reputation as a skirt-chaser in the Texas capitol yet parades his family in campaign brochures. He takes trips on the public dime and paid for by his political supporters. He tries to coerce his staff and lobbyist to buy into BurnLounge, an illegal MLM scam.
This man is locked out of meetings with the full Republican caucus as he can't be trusted and they don't like him. His best friend in the senate is Judith Zaffirini, a Laredo Democrat and one of the most liberal members in state government. He has voted against parental rights and not supported parental notification when minor children seek abortions.
This man is not a conservative nor is he an honorable man. SD 25 needs new representation and Jeff Wentworth needs a jail cell.
