Jim Henley, teacher, is running for Congress out in TX-7 in Harris County. More importantly, his campaign has just launched the Henley Blog. It's great to see campaigns blogging, lead by others like Chris Bell (Gov) and Larry Stallings (HD-122).
Go visit Greg and give him some thanks for all his work with Borris Miles, knocking Rep. Al Edwards out of the lege. Finally. Part of me will miss his bills to ban sexy cheerleading. Hah, just kidding.
Want to see some ads in the battle to be a small town mayor? Fredericksburg has a heated race for Mayor (first time in about 20 years) and it pits an incumbent running for re-election to one last term (term limits), Tim Crenwelge, and newcomer to the political scene Jeryl Hoover. As the city population grows with new voters, the ability for the traditional German voting class to determine local elections is diminishing, though at which point that becomes less than 50% of the vote is still unknown. Low turnout (less than 15% on average) plays a key role.
