Texas Tuesday: Chet Edwards

By Byron LaMasters

I just posted on Texas Tuesdays.com on the Chet Edwards race for Congress in the new 17th district. I'll be posting on the race several more times today, so be sure to check out Texas Tuesdays throughout the day.

For those of you that haven't kept up to date, Chet Edwards is the only Democrat in a highly competetive congressional race in Texas where Roll Call lists the race as "Lean Democratic". Edwards is also facing the extreme right-wing (Club for Growth backed) State Rep. Arlene Wohlgemuth, who as a member of the Texas House took the lead in cutting thousands of kids off the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). There's a clear difference between Edwards and Wohlgemuth, and Edwards needs our support.

Check out Edwards webpage and Contribute to his campaign online. Please add on an extra $0.36 to let him know that it came from the Texas Tuesday effort.
