How many State Rep candidates can boast having a Presidential candidate come to town to campaign for them? As The Red State tells us, Juan Garcia can.
General Wesley Clark will join fellow veteran and state representative candidate Juan Garcia for a formal campaign kick-off rally on January 26 at the Selena Auditorium.
“I am honored to have General Clark’s endorsement and strong support in my campaign to set a new direction for the families and small businesses of House District 32,” Garcia said. “His biography and his record of commitment to our country speaks for itself.”
More details can be found there or in the press release (Word doc). I’d be there if I could.
As Perry suggests, Clark will probably also be in state to plug Bob Gammage, who did a lot of work on the General’s 2004 campaign in Texas. That’ll probably get more press, but I’d say Clark’s support of Garcia will have more impact.
Email sent out yesterday morning. Think I got it from being on an old Clark list.

Ah, I see the Diddie-miester already has the Gammage info posted…
At least two state representative races can say they have a presidential candidate stumping for them. Word came this afternoon that after the reception in Houston where Wes Clark with appear for Bob Gammage, he will then move on to appear at a rally for State Representative Hubert Vo, in TX House District 149 before leaving Houston to fly to Corpus Christi for a rally and fundraiser for Juan Garcia. Wes Clark has never stopped campaigning for the Democratic party and our candidates.
