GOP lieutenant governor candidate Dan Patrick uses the L-word — liberal — in his latest ad, an attack on his Democratic rival, Leticia Van de Putte.

“Texans want a Lieutenant Governor who stands for fiscal responsibility and has a pro-business, pro-economy record, not a Washington-style candidate like liberal Leticia,” said Patrick senior strategist Allen Blakemore in a statement.

Early voting for the Nov. 4 general election starts Monday.
