With Mel Moss and Rick Rose on Thirsdays Show Special Guest Todd Staples Candidate Lt Governor. After strong encouragement from friends and supporters statewide, Todd Staples announced his intention to run for Lieutenant Governor in 2014 with Texas legend Nolan Ryan as his Statewide Chairman. Staples is one of Texas' youngest statewide Republican leaders. In addition to his current statewide post as Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, Staples has served as Mayor Pro Tem of his local city council, as a State Representative and as a Texas State Senator. Consistently rated one of Texas' top conservatives in the Texas legislature, Todd served as chair of the Republican Caucus, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Governors Bush and Perry to pass record setting tax breaks, helped pass landmark lawsuit abuse reform, and sponsored and helped pass a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between one man and one woman. As Commissioner of Agriculture, Staples fought the job-killing policies of Obama's EPA. Staples sued the Obama EPA numerous times in order to stop burdensome regulations that would eliminate thousands of Texas jobs.
