... What about these individuals?
State House:
Jeffrey Larson (District 129)
...
Proud to have the endorsement of JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director, Grassroots America – We the People PAC Two-term Chairman, TX Legislature’s TEA Party Caucus Advisory Committee
Here is what she had to say:
District 58 voters:
When I endorse candidates, I’m looking for fighters – men and women who will stand on principle – even if they must stand alone. We must save Texas from moderate and liberal Republicans, who spend too much, borrow too much, and who like federal dollars way too much!
We desperately need constitutionally conservative leadership in Austin – public servants who will put our state government into a constitution-sized box by cutting regulation and spending. This means getting state government back into its proper role – funding only those core constitutional functions of state government – not corporate welfare for special interests.
We must end the use of accounting gimmicks, deferrals, and raiding the Rainy Day Fund to balance the state budget, and instead, balance the state budget as families and small businesses balance theirs – by making tough choices based on needs, priorities, and what they can afford!
We need elected officials who will put the citizens of Texas first. That means jobs and taxpayer services should go to citizens and legal residents, period. Texans cannot afford a social safety net for all who want to jump in, and it is high time for our state officials to get a backbone and live by the oath of office – to uphold the rule of law – all of it, all of the time!
I am confident that Philip Eby is the kind of leader we need in the Texas House – a fighter who will simply do what is right!
Fellow Texans, it is time to make the Texas House the People’s House once more. Please vote for Philip Eby for State Representative. The conservative majority we’re building in the House needs him!

So folks who would be in their corner backed them. Fine. But, as others have and continue to say, backing from those with deep pockets help as well. Like Coulter backing Brannon (even though it didn't ultimately matter)- though I'm not a fan of her rhetoric, I'll admit that she does have a big following.
Term Limits
John has a strong belief that our Founding Fathers never intended for a permanent political class. In Congress, John will seek a Constitutional amendment that imposes term limits on both the House of Representatives and Senate.
Looking at Ratcliffe's site and where he stands on issues:
Admirable, but I don't see it going anywhere, really. Is Ratcliffe solid or what some would call an ally?
