From Andrea Greer:
Rep. Jessica Farrar
Last week, Senator John Whitmire addressed a crowd of supporters at a fundraiser for Representative Jessica Farrar.
“Jessica, I’m here because until today, I gotta be honest,” he admitted, “I didn’t know you had a challenger.”
Senator Whitmire is hardly the only one caught by surprise by not just the fact that this beloved state representative has a challenger, but that he is running in the primary, claiming to be a Democrat.
What can we say about Dave Wilson?

Jessica Farrar’s experience and expertise are invaluable. She’s a fierce advocate for civil rights, healthcare, animals, schools, and more, but she also understands that governance means learning how to work together with people whose opinions she may not share. She understands that governance is about finding ways to say yes.
Jessica Farrar is the only responsible choice in the March primary. Let’s keep her in the Texas House.
I’m pretty sure everyone reading this blog knows what can be said about Dave Wilson, but go ahead and click over to refresh your memory. I don’t live in HD148 any more – my neighborhood was split in half in the 2011 redistricting, with my half being placed in HD145 – so I can’t vote for Rep. Farrar in the primary, but if you live in HD148 please make sure that you do. I don’t care who you support for President, just don’t miss this race. The stakes are too high to take any of this for granted.
