Long-time readers of RedState are familiar with Michael Williams, of course: he was of the candidates for replacing Senator Hutchison, back when she looked ready to vacate her Senate seat. Now that she’s retiring, Michael is officially running for Senate. We talked last week:
Michael was until quite recently a Texas Railroad Commissioner, which (as Texas Railroad Commissioners soon learn to explain, over and over and over again) has nothing to do with Texas railroads; it actually oversees Texas energy policy, which is why it’s an elected position. His Senate campaign site is here.

Michael Williams! My choice.
I’ll be block-walking, cold calling and donating.
I like Williams a lot, modulo the fact that he’s a politician. One of the things I like best about him is his appearance contrasted with his voice and other presence. Put him in a hoodie and low-slung pants, and three-quarters of the lily-white “liberals” would be cringing on the other side of the room, but what he actually wears is George Will plus, *ahem* color.
