#TXLEGE: Rodriguez might be least bad realistic possibility in SD-14

"Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

Hmm....

Proud to share that a diverse group of elected officials, community leaders, advocates, activists & business people have formed an exploratory committee on my behalf for the upcoming #SD14 special election, to be co-chaired by @DonnaHowardTX, @CeliaIsrael & @GinaForAustin #txlege pic.twitter.com/i7jIZVrWBz

Wasn't expecting that.

For those who aren't aware, this author has been a constituent of Eddie Rodriguez's for most of the past decade.  As such, we've had the opportunity to interact with him (and his staff) on a number of occasions.  We've always found them to be professional and respectful.  Not to damn him with faint praise, but that's more than we can say for about half the legislature.

That's not to say we agree with him on many issues.  We don't.  Furthermore, as we already said, we think it's worth it for someone with whom we agree to take a shot .  That being said, the shot in question would be a very long one.

FWIW, Eddie Rodriguez sometimes tailgates next to this author's friends at UT football games.  That doesn't mean much.  But...well...what else do we have to go on?!?

Bottom Line: We could certainly do worse.
