Ethically Challenged Tech Regent Steinmetz may challenge Neugebauer for seat in Republican primary
Vista Bank President and Texas Tech Regent John Steinmetz is considering a run for Congress that would put him up against fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, who has held the Lubbock-anchored seat for a decade.
Steinmetz has been encouraged by men and women throughout District 19 to run for the seat in 2014, he said Tuesday, Oct. 8, and the 35-year-old former Lubbock County Republican Party chairman said he plans to make a decision in the next few weeks.
I think its time for a change and the people who I talk with want someone to represent them with dignity, effectiveness and service to the people, he said. I have confidence I can do that.
His comments were not an attack against Neugebauer, he said, though they come after Neugebauer drew headlines and was prompted to explain his recent terse exchange of words with a park ranger enforcing terms of the ongoing partial government shutdown at the national WWII Memorial Oct 2. in Washington, D.C.
