The biggest shakeup of Texas politics in decades is two weeks away.
As early voting begins Monday, little has changed since campaigns launched a year ago: Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott is still favored to become the next governor, George P. Bush is poised to win his political debut and Democrats remain longshots to break a 20-year losing streak in statewide races.
But it's an election that will be transformative if not dramatic. Every major statewide office is changing hands, which makes Nov. 4 the start of the biggest power shift in Texas government since at least 1990.
In two statewide races, Abbott maintains a comfortable lead in public polls over Democrat Wendy Davis, and Republican Dan Patrick remains a favorite over Leticia Van de Putte to become lieutenant governor.
