The Democratic candidate for Texas State Comptroller is Texas State Senator Sarah Eckhardt. Her website has full details on her vision for the Comptroller’s Office: Sen. Eckhardt said, “I am running to break the 30-year cycle of corporate greed and favoritism and be a fair watchdog for the people’s money — not another lapdog for the rich and powerful.”
