Texas Railroad Commissioner Elizabeth Ames Jones will officially begin her campaign for Senate Tuesday morning in Dallas. She has an announcement planned for 7:45 a.m. at the Dallas County Republican Party headquarters, located 10100 North Central Expressway.
"I am running for Senate because our federal government is out of control," according to a prepared statement from Jones. "We have to rein in out-of-control spending and debt, ban wasteful pork and earmarks, secure our borders and get government off the backs of businesses so they can grow and create desperately-needed jobs."
Dallas will be the first stop in a 13-city, weeklong tour.
Jones joins a Republican field in the 2012 Senate race that's expected to include Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams, former Secretary of State Roger Williams, former Solicitor General Ted Cruz and Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas, currently holds the Senate seat and is not seeking another term.
