Yesterday Quorum Report reported State Rep. Al Edwards (D-Houston), who was defeated by Borris Miles in 2006 only to reclaim his seat in 2008, will once again have a Democratic opponent. This time its Billy Briscoe, a 36 year old Houston lawyer.

Briscoe is a University of Houston law graduate and University of Michigan MBA who worked as Paul Hobby's travel aide on his 1998 comptroller campaign before working for Public Strategies. He now leads the Briscoe Law Firm's Government Relations, Public Law and Administrative Law practice.

Go Briscoe! (0.00 / 0)

When I still voted out of Houston, Al Edwards was my representative. Quite simply, I'm tired of him. The only reason he is in office is because Borris Miles liked his gun a bit too much, as many Texans tend to do, anyways.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

His time has come and gone. But then, I'm tired of every single member of the Legislature that has been there more than ten years, regardless of party.

Well, some of those are better than others. (0.00 / 0)

i.e. Senfronia Thompson, who still has the ability to be damn effective even after 30+ years.
