Congressman Chet Edwards received endorsements from both the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this week, as he runs for re-election in TX-17. From the Dallas Morning News: Central Texas stalwart Chet Edwards is being challenged for his seat in Congress this year by a rookie who's long on cash and slash-and-burn campaigning but short on answers. The editorial goes on to mention that Van Taylor -- the Republican opponent -- recently moved into the district, doesn't have a good grasp on the issues, and has credibility concerns. Meanwhile, they cite Edwards' seniority, which helped him save a VA center in Waco, and his balanced standing on issues as a key reason why he should be re-elected.
From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Chet Edwards brings experience, understanding and the closest thing to statesmanship one can find in Washington these days...
What Edwards is not is a party ideologue.
Project Vote Smart, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that collects voting information on elected officials, releases annual evaluations from special interest groups that indicate how often a member of Congress votes with the groups' preferred positions. Edwards' score card makes clear that the Waco congressman thinks for himself and is not a functionary of the party. We strongly support Congressman Edwards, and recommend any of our readers to visit his website and donate time, money, or anything you can to help him win re-election in TX-17. |
