The Texas Observer has been busy. In a massive file, they’ve aggregated every campaign photo of every candidate actively running for the Texas Legislature this year. Here are some of the Observer’s more interesting discoveries:
25 of this year’s campaign photos prominently feature the Texas Capitol. The most common pose was the crossed-arm-candidate-with-attitude. This posture can be seen in 23 of the pictures. The images feature 23 cowboy hats, two tractors, five horses and 13 dogs.
The photos also contain 376 children, though 150 of these are all in one photo. There are 29 total firearms in the campaign photos, and four pictures of children with guns.
The campaign photos feature 10 US flags, but 16 Texas flags. And there were a total of six dead squirrels, though these all appear in the same photograph.
