| This is an old story from 2006. Mina Brees passed away August 8th, 2009.
Mina Brees, Democratic nominee for the 3rd Court of Appeals, Place 5 which includes Travis and 23 other counties, suffered a heart attack earlier this week as became known this afternoon. She survived the incident and in the care of her doctors is expected to make a full recovery (deeply saddening Tom DeLay who would like to keep the 3rd Court of Appeals from becoming more Democratic and less likely to play his games). The TDP released a statement late today.
A statement from Texas Democratic Party Chair Boyd Richie regarding the medical condition of Mina Brees:
"I am deeply saddened to hear that Mina Brees, Democratic Candidate for the Third Court of Appeals, suffered a heart attack this past weekend at her home in Austin. I am encouraged to hear that her doctor expects a full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this time. I pray that her recovery is swift and complete and I look forward to campaigning alongside with her as soon as she has fully recovered."
We here at BOR wish Mina Brees a speedy and full recovery and hope that our readers, while unable to do anything directly for her, could at the very least go to her website and sign up for updates or to volunteer or give in some way in place of flowers. Prayers, of course, are always accepted.
Update: Brees' fellow Democrat Bree Buchanan, running for the same court but in Place 6, has left a comment to this post with an update on Mina's condition (which is positive). Check it out. |
