With all the time spent by people like me talking about the high-profile races in Harris County, it's important to remember that there are good candidates doing the hard work of running in races that aren't considered top tier as well. One such candidate is Joe Montemayor, who is working to build on what Diane Trautman accomplished in 2006 in North Harris' HD127. Montemayor is a longtime public servant, having done a stint in the Navy and having recently retired after a long career with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and he's an all-around good guy. You can hear what he has to say in my interview with him, as always in MP3 format. Let me know what you think.
