| I'm happy to see Bob Gammage put out the word to help Katy Hubener in her special election. This was a particularly gracious move as Katy's race will not even be on the same ballot as Bob Gammage, so he can't be certain how much crossover support he will get.
Which brings me to my point; watch out for the confusion on the February 28th election day! For those of you living in the 106th who want to be sure you are getting your voted counted in all elections, these elections will be held in two separate places on two separate ballots. The special election will be held in where your local precinct normally votes (you can contact Katy's campaign at 972-282-9301 if you need help), and the primary early voting will be held at the normal early voting locations (201. W. Church at the Grand Prairie Development center, and at Irving City Hall for 106th voters) Just be all the more confusing, Katy Hubener is going to be on both ballots. She is on the primary ballot where she is in one of many races that have no opponent, and she is on the special election ballot where she is in the only race with two opponents. For the sake of memory, remember to not only vote for Katy, but against the clueless Republican daddy's boy, Kirk England. If he isn't on your ballot also, then you aren't voting in the special election.
If you only have time to make one of the elections in the day, be sure that it is the special election (not at early voting). There is still time after the 28th to make early primary voting and cast that important vote for Bob Gammage (I already did this, myself!), but it will be too late for the special election.
Beyond party affiliation, Katy has the competance on the issues necessary to not be taken advantage of by special interest lobbyists, whereas Kirk has proven again and again (both for the Dallas Morning News, and in the Irving Cable Television Network candidates forum) that he is not yet ready for the job if he ever will be. The man doesn't even seem to know what a lobbyist is. He said he would wait 'til he got to Austin to figure that one out, but I'm guessing they will find out who he is sooner if the Koolaid drinkers succeed in putting him there.
