==Race for agriculture commissioner==
==Race for agriculture commissioner==
Carnes began his campaign for agriculture commissioner with $89,000, the smallest amount of the five Republican candidates who sought the position.<ref name=dallasnews/> Carnes's opponents challenged his actual commitment to the Republican Party. Carnes voted in the [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] primaries in 2008 and 2010, as well as 2000, although he disputes that contention. He said that he backed Democrats in local races for [[sheriff]] and county judge in which no Republicans were seeking those offices in Uvalde County. Carnes said that his backing for these Democrats and political contributions to other Democrats was tied directly to agriculture issues.
