Shane Sklar Kicks Off Campaign in CD 14
By Phillip Martin
Shanke Sklar formally kicked off his campaign against incumbent Congressman Ron Paul in CD14 yesterday, announcing from his home town of Victoria yesterday. As the article notes, CD 14 stretches from Galveston all the way to Aransas county, making it one of the largest coastal congressional districts in the country. Sklar spoke of the need to work, in future years, with FEMA to ensure that Texas' gulf coast towns are prepared for hurricanes like Katrina.
"I thought with the terrorism preparations that we've had in our country, there might have been a little better plans set in place and response time. We could have done a better job...
This isn't a job for someone who simply sits back and lets things happen. We need a congressman who will make a difference."
Sklar, who has worked for Congressman Chet Edwards in the past, recently finished his fourth year as Executive Director for the Texas Cattleman's Association. To help Shane Sklar in his efforts, contribute to his campaign here.
