description: "David Henry Dewhurst is an American politician, businessman, and attorney who served as the 41st lieutenant governor of Texas from 2003 to 2015. A member of the Republican Party, he was the Texas Land Commissioner from 1999 to 2003. He was a candidate in 2012 for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the retiring Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, but he lost his party's runoff election to former Solicitor General Ted Cruz, who went on to win the general election. Dewhurst ran for a fourth term as Lieutenant Governor in 2014, but lost renomination to then-state senator Dan Patrick in the Republican primary."
