Travis County GOP does their best job recruiting candidates...pretty much EVER!!!

"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan."
Proverbs 29:2

Via. Travis Tracker:

Becky Bray made headlines as a top fundraiser in the multi-way race for Austin City Council District 8 in 2014, and now has the blessing of outgoing Precinct 3 County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty as his successor.

Returning candidates include Martin Harry, who ran for Justice of the Peace in 2018, and Marilyn Jackson, who in 2010 ran for a Texas House seat. Harry is now in the running for District Attorney and Jackson for Tax Assessor-Collector.

This is...completely unexpected.

But we'll take it!!!

The truth, of course, is that local races will remain extraordinarily challenging as long as...well, you know.  But that's no excuse.  You've got to start somewhere.

Furthermore, as long as homelessness remains a slow-motion debacle, there's every reason to believe outside voices will get the fairest hearing they've had in awhile.

Also: No more straight ticket!!!

Bottom Line: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
