One of the things I observed as I was frantically updating lists of who had filed to run in the HD148 special election was that some of the candidates were easier to find online than others, and that some had already created a web presence for themselves while others had not. As I intended to do interviews for this race, that mattered to me. About two weeks out from the filing deadline, I’ve been able to track down many of them, and the Erik Manning spreadsheet has more information. But for my convenience and yours, here’s how to find the Democrats of the HD148 special election online:
Rob Block – Facebook
Kendra Yarbrough Camarena – Facebook
Anna Eastman – Facebook
Adrian P. Garcia – Facebook
Terah Isaacson – Facebook
Michele Leal – Facebook
Mia Mundy (no website, just Facebook)
Anna Núñez – Facebook
Penny Shaw – Facebook
Alva Treviño – Facebook
Chris Watt – Facebook
Still can’t find anything online for Carol Denson. I’ll leave it to you to locate the Republicans.
If you want to know if you or someone you know is in HD148, you can of course look yourself up on the Tax Assessor’s voter registration webpage. Or, you can use this map of HD148 to see if your address is in or out. I will have a bunch of interviews with HD148 candidates for you beginning September 30, so you’ll have a chance to hear what they have to say for themselves. If you’ve had the chance to see any of them in action, let us know what your impression was.
does this include the candidate that filed with the State and not the county? The new SS forgot to notify the county clerk and the cc didn’t double check (new law apparently?)
The Harris County Republican Party endorsed Luis LaRotta last night in this contest. The Texas Young Republican Federation and the Republican Liberty Caucus also have endorsed LaRotta.
