AUSTIN — A week before the March 4 primaries I asked former Midland Mayor Mike Canon if waiting until almost the last minute to challenge state Sen. Kel Seliger would hurt his chances of unseating the Amarillo Republican.
Canon, who launched his candidacy on Dec. 7 — two days before the filing deadline — responded with a firm “no.”
Moreover, a few days after Canon filed, I asked him if the Republican primary in Senate District 31 was a north vs. south battle, but his response was the same: “No.”
