Senate Democratic Leader (Introduction)
Watson's title was chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus not Senate Democratic Leader. Unlike in the United States Congress where the role of minority leader usually represents the capstone of a legislator's career, that is not the case in the Texas legislature, and it is not remarkable that Watson passed the baton to someone else and remained a Senator; nor is it relevant who succeeded Watson as caucus chair. He was recently elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate; that is much more remarkable because he was elected by a majority of Senators, which required some support from Republican members. Nor is the rule change in the Texas Senate from 2/3 of the Senators required to advance a bill to 3/5 particularly relevant to an article about Watson. I am removing the less remarkable, less relevant details and incorporating the more recent development. A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 06:07, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
