The Chron continues its long, slow march through the endorsement process with three more recommendations in State Rep races. Two of their endorsements went to Democrats, one for an open seat and one for a GOP-held seat.
State representative, District 133, Kristi Thibaut - A former legislative aide, Thibaut has the knowledge and experience to represent her constituents effectively. The Democratic nominee, Thibaut recognizes that Texas cannot afford to shortchange its schools. Her Republican opponent, Jim Murphy, opposes promising embryonic stem cell research and a woman's right to choose abortion.[...]
State representative, District 138, Mark McDavid - The Democratic nominee, McDavid seeks needed change in Austin. He favors stricter regulations to reduce pollution in air and water, as well as adequate funding for schools and state parks. He faces an uphill battle against long-serving Republican incumbent Dwayne Bohac, but the Chronicle believes McDavid is the better candidate. In the last session, Bohac inexplicably resisted reasonable efforts to reform the school finance system and reduce industrial pollution in Houston.
As a reminder, you can listen to my interviews with the candidates here:
Thibaut
McDavid
Scott Brann, Woolley's opponent in HD136.
If you're keeping score, that's two out of three I called correctly this go-round, and 20 out of 21 in State Rep races so far.
You are rocking!
