Spector in the Race for HD121
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Former State Supreme Court Justice Rose Spector has officially entered the race for the now-vacant HD121 seat in San Antonio. The race includes two former office holders — Democract Supreme Court Justice Rose Spector and former Democrat (but running as an Independent) Rep. Paul Silber. They will be joined on the ballot by Republican businessmen Joe Straus III and Republican Glen S. Starnes.
Hat tip to Greg, who makes a comment I agree with when he gives kudos to whomever got her into the race (Charles Soechting?). Maybe Andrew can help us out on that one.

This was all Judge Spector. She's wanted to run for this seat since the early 70s, but family/business/legal stuff got in the way until now. Charles was as surprised and ecstatic as the rest of us on this one. This isn't us seeking out a candidate and begging her to run, quite the opposite in fact.
Spector will make it to the run off, what with the GOP vote split 3 ways, and I suspect she can do rather well. Perhaps a UD trip is in order...
It's a good sign when candidates step up to run and we aren't having to drag them tooth and nail. Maybe a signal of shifting winds in Texas?
And a UD trip, kick-ass idea Andrew! I'll be sure to bring it up at our unofficial Officer gathering tonight. Keep in touch with me if there are things we can do (and tell her to get some kind of website up, unless she's got all the financial support that she will need for the race).
