The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is throwing its support behind MJ Hegar for the upcoming Texas U.S. Senate primary. The committee announced its endorsement of Hegar today saying she has the best chance to beat Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn next year citing her background as an Air Force combat pilot. Hegar says she appreciates the endorsement. The campaign of lead primary challenger Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez blasted the announcement calling it tone deaf and suggested the DSCC was writing off non-white voters.
