There are people that are pulling at him in different ways, trying to tell him what's most strategic to do.
But there was a poll that actually dropped today that had me ahead of all three of them.

Yeah, so first of all, I wish they knew that I actually started my political and legal career in rural East Texas and that I served on the Agriculture Committee last cycle.
So I'm that girl that actually can go into rural Texas, even though I represent the Dallas area.
And I've been talking to our Texas farmers and ranchers way before I was looking at running for the U.S.
Senate.
I understand the challenges that are facing all Texans, whether you're talking about our farmers and ranchers that are currently filing record bankruptcies, or whether you're talking about that mother who may be sitting at home wondering whether or not she's going to have enough money to pay for health care and food on her table.
We are leading in uninsured in the country.
We have been leading in uninsured for a very long time.
But as someone who lived in rural East Texas, I know what it is to have to go to Shreveport or go to Dallas so that I can actually see a health care professional, because there's not one that's there.
Listen, the challenges the Texans are facing, especially as it relates to affordability, with us being one of the top exporting states in the entire country, they are real.

We've got to make sure that we're getting these tariffs under control.
We've got to start to grow our economy instead of continuing to shrink it.
We've got to make sure that housing is a real dream that can be realized by all Texans
And so we've got to make sure that these terrible policies around immigration that are impacting us everywhere.
The final point that I'll say, because I know you're ready to move on.
But today was a really emotional day for me as I walked into a building and there was another business that was there.
And a doctor came out at her facility and she said to me, I just want to tell you this story about someone that works in my office.
