Jerry Patterson, Texas Land Commissioner
Season 7 Episode 15 | 26m 47s
Evan talks with Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
Jerry Patterson doesn't shy away from controversy, and doesn't toe any party's line. He's made pet issues of gun rights, property rights and abolishment of motorcycle helmet laws, but has also embraced wind power and new nursing homes for Texas veterans. Some say his brand of politics will push him out of office. Others believe it could carry him higher perhaps to Lieutenant Governor in 2010.
