ODESSA, Texas — State Representative Brooks Landgraf cleared up the confusion on his Facebook page Wednesday about Brandon Pugh, running for Ector County Precinct 202 chair, and saying he was endorsing him.
Landgraf on Tuesday said that some of his constituents asked him if he was endorsing Pugh, in response he said: "I want to be very clear: I do not, and will not, endorse Brandon Pugh in his race against Traci Gregston."
On Wednesday, around 3:11 p.m., Landgraf put out this statement:
"This afternoon, Brandon Pugh (who is in the Precinct 202 chair race against Traci Gregston) sent a text message to voters clarifying that his previous 'message was never intended to imply that Landgraf has endorsed me.' I appreciate Mr. Pugh working to clear up the confusion on this issue. I am dedicated to clear and honest communication with voters, so while my position on not endorsing Mr. Pugh has not changed, I do want to personally share this update with you as well." - Brooks Landgraf, State Representative
