In 2015, Dan Patrick stormed into his first legislative session as lieutenant governor declaring it a “new day” in Texas, claiming a mandate for conservative policy from voters in the prior election.
Two years later, Patrick embarked on his second session with an early and aggressive red-meat agenda meant to build pressure on a resistant House.
In 2019, Patrick played the eager participant in the united front that the new Big 3 himself, Gov. Greg Abbott and new House Speaker Dennis Bonnen sought to display as the session began.
