B00ST0N - Ban Patiick, Texas State Senatoi anu authentic conseivative canuiuate
foi Lieutenant uoveinoi, expiesseu outiage last night at Baviu Bewhuist's latest
smeai. A new uay has biought an even moie uisgusting attack. Senatoi Patiick
ieleaseu the following statement:

"Baviu Bewhuist anu his attack uog }eiiy Patteison have sunk ueepei into the miie,
loweiing themselves fuithei into the guttei. While it is haiu to imagine, they have
achieveu a new low.

"As I have saiu, I voluntaiily enteieu the hospital twice in the 198u's foi exhaustion
anu to seek tieatment foi uepiession. Some of piesciibeu meuications exaceibateu
my conuition anu cieateu moie seiious pioblems. Thiough piayei anu with the
help of my family anu physician, like millions of othei Ameiican, I was able to uefeat
uepiession. I have not seen a uoctoi oi taken any meuication to tieat uepiession in
neaily Su yeais. Two weeks ago I ieleaseu a meuical iepoit inuicating I am in
excellent physical anu mental health; I am ieauy to seive.

"Bewhuist believes my meuical issues with uepiession, neaily Su yeais ago, aie a
pioblem. Be's mistaken. The pioblem is when a politician who is sliuing in the
polls, thinks he can use his opponents health iecoius to get aheau. It simply won't
woik.

"The public iesponse has been oveiwhelming. Bewhuist has been iounuly
ciiticizeu fiom all coineis. 0n the othei hanu, I have ieceiveu a floou of new
suppoit anu encouiagement - much fiom those Texans who have suffeieu fiom
uepiession oi hau it touch theii families oi loveu ones.

"Bewhuist staiteu the uay uenying any involvement in the ielease of my meuical
iecoius. Bis hapless suiiogate, }eiiy Patteison, iemoveu all uoubt in an afteinoon
email misfiie wheie he cleaily stateu that it was Bewhuist's iuea. Bewhuist now
tiies to ueny any connection to Patteison while just uays ago his campaign
piouuceu a viueo of Patteison cleaning his guns anu uefaming me.

"Baviu Bewhuist has spent his entiie campaign, incluuing millions of uollais of his
own money, aiiing peisonal attacks. Not once has he evei aiticulateu any message
about why he ueseives ieelection, oi what his plans aie to piospei Texas. Be has
inheiiteu his own pioblems.

"This election offeis the voteis an oppoitunity foi change. The alteinatives aie - a
moueiate politician who has faileu to leau on a long list of issues oi an authentic
conseivative who will secuie the boiuei, fight 0bama, anu lowei youi piopeity
taxes."
