Fondo
En una entrevista con Texas Monthly publicada en diciembre de 2007, la senadora titular Kay Bailey Hutchison declaró que no buscaría la reelección y que también podría renunciar al Senado en 2009 para postularse como gobernadora de Texas . [2] Después de las elecciones de 2008 , Hutchison formó un comité exploratorio para postularse para gobernador en 2010 . [3] La presidenta del Partido Republicano del estado, Cathie Adams, pidió más tarde a Hutchison que aclarara cuándo dejaría vacante el Senado para que otros candidatos republicanos pudieran hacer los preparativos para postularse. [4]
El 4 de diciembre de 2008, Hutchison estableció un comité exploratorio, estableciendo una batalla primaria con el actual gobernador republicano Rick Perry . [5] El también senador de Texas y presidente del Comité Senatorial Republicano Nacional , John Cornyn, trató de convencer a Hutchison de que permaneciera en el Senado, por temor a perder el escaño ante los demócratas. [6] El 15 de enero de 2009, Hutchison transfirió casi todo el dinero, aproximadamente $ 8 millones, de su cuenta de campaña federal a su comité exploratorio para gobernador. [7] El 13 de noviembre de 2009, Hutchison anunció que no renunciaría al escaño del Senado hasta después de las primarias del 2 de marzo de 2010. [8]
Hutchison perdió las primarias para gobernador ante Perry y el 31 de marzo de 2010, anunció su intención de cumplir su tercer mandato. [9] El 13 de enero de 2011, después de una discusión sobre si cambiaría de opinión, [10] Hutchison anunció que no buscaría la reelección en 2012. [11]
Requisitos para la nominación
Texas requiere una mayoría para la nominación y una segunda vuelta entre los dos candidatos con las dos pluralidades más altas si ninguno obtiene la mayoría en la primera ronda. [12] Ningún candidato obtuvo la mayoría en las primarias de primera ronda de los principales partidos de 2012, por lo que ambos partidos tuvieron una segunda vuelta el 31 de julio de 2012.
