KFYO EXCLUSIVE: Craig James Talks Senate Race and West Texas on Lubbock’s First News [AUDIO]

In an exclusive KFYO interview, U.S. Senate candidate Craig James talked with Chad Hasty and Rex Andrew about his campaign and what he thinks of West Texas on the Wednesday edition of Lubbock's First News.

James is well-known in the Lubbock area for his involvement in the firing of Texas Tech football head coach Mike Leach after Leach allegedly locked James's son, Adam, in a supply closet after Adam suffered a concussion. In the interview, James still stands by his actions and insists he was trying to protect his son.
