Another hot race for a State House seat in Harris County is in HD138, which is north and west of where I live, mostly in Spring Branch and Garden Oaks and the like. Three-term incumbent Rep. Dwayne Bohac won the seat in 2002 after it was redrawn to oust then-Rep. Ken Yarbrough. Like much of Harris County, the district is trending Democratic – you can see some of that in the district election analysis (PDF), where the combined Congressional (R 10,613; D 9,338) and State Senate (R 10,371; D 10,555) votes were close to even. Challenging Bohac this year is Virginia McDavid, who is strongly backed by labor unions and whose professional background as a CPA and a flight attendant makes her one of the more interesting people on the scene. My interview with Virginia McDavid is here, as always in MP3 format.
