| You'll recall earlier this week that the intolerant Republican Representative from House District 4, Betty Brown, announced her campaign for re-election to a sixth term to the Texas House.
As mentioned in an earlier post, the Asian Political Leadership Fund made it clear that they intend to launch television advertising against the intolerant Terrell Republican. You can view the ad here.
As reported by the Quorum Report this week, Brown faces a crowded Republican Primary field:
First elected in 1998, Brown is seeking her sixth term as legislator. One of her opponents, Lance Gooden, said that he's running because Brown doesn't have too many accomplishments to show for her time spent in the Capitol. ... Others filing papers this summer to run in HD 4 include Jeffrey Fulgham Jr., an executive at the First State Bank of Brownsboro, and Melissa Pehle-Hill who announced her candidacy at the Athens Texas Independence Day Tea Party.
Brown has her hands full with an upcoming primary challenge from many angles of the Right. She narrowly held off a formidable opponent in 2008 with just 52.5% of the primary vote. The Asian American Leadership Fund is clearly looking to knock Brown off in the primary and might just accomplish that task. That likely means House District 4 will be represented by a Republican not named Betty Brown, as the district is clearly drawn for someone from the Right versus the Left. |
