In 2018, former Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, on his [[Facebook]] page, announced that he, Range, Edwards, and [[David Watts]] -- all opponents of George P. Bush in the 2014 and 2018 primaries -- are supporting the Democratic nominee for land commissioner, Miguel Suazo, in the November 6 general election. An energy attorney, Suazo is a former aide to former [[U.S. Senator]]s [[Pete Domenici]] and [[Jeff Bingaman]] of [[New Mexico]]. Patterson said that the decision is based on Suazo's commitment to preserving the historical integrity of The Alamo and keeping the cenotaph in place. Otherwise, Patterson said he will vote straight Republican in the mid-term election.
