Burnt Orange Report

Madla to Run Again

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Looks like we didn't get Christmas early this year. Sen. Madla, one of the flip-floppers on HJR 6, the constitutional gay marriage ban (as well as various other pieces of legislation) says he is going to go ahead and run for his seat again, which had drawn three state reps interest. Reps. Robert Puente and Carlos Uresti, both of San Antonio, and Pete Gallego of Alpine were possible contenders for an open seat. No words on if any of them will still persue a primary challenge (which BOR would likely be quite supportive of, especially if it was Gallego) though Madla did throgh down this line...

"Any serious challenger has to start moving around today," he said.

So what say you reps? Step Up Texas.
