The campaign for Texas governor is heating up. New polls are out suggested a tight race. And the stakes are high.

For the next two weeks, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at the election, the candidates and the issues. We’ll start this week with a look at Democratic nominee Bill White, the former mayor of Houston. Then next week, we’ll look at Rick Perry, the current governor of Texas.

Ronald Reagan said elections are about differences. So we’ll look at these two men, how they are different and what that means for the future of our state.

Logon each day for the next weeks. The race is on!
