Richard Raymond Statement
By Byron LaMasters
Several days ago, we reported that Richard Raymond was planning a run for Congress in CD 28. Yesterday, Raymond issued the following statement:
STATEMENT BY REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD RAYMOND REGARDING POSSIBLE RUN FOR CONGRESS
"I appreciate Aaron Pena's enthusiasm and potential support, but I have contacted him and told him I will not make any formal decision on running for CD 28, which is currently held by Henry Cuellar, until sometime after the legislative session.
Many people have contacted me and offered to support me and I appreciate it very much. However, I will not run, unless the support is there and I really believe I can win. I will continue to talk with and listen to those who are interested in me running for Congress.
This is an extremely important position and one in which I believe I could make a difference, were I to run and be elected. If you have any comments on this, pro or con, please let me know."
Richard Raymond
State Representative, District 42
Laredo

i don't support anyone challenging a democrat in the primary.
i think raymond's hair products are penetrating his skull. bonilla's seat is wide open for a democrat. cuellar has run there before and could help raymond--though he probably won't now that raymond is talking shit.
more democrats in texas will help us take back the house. we can "purify" once we get the luxury of a majority.
