Burnt Orange Report

Heflin to Challenge Vo

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Via QR, former House Appropriations Chair Talmadge Heflin will run for his old seat, HD-149, which he was knocked out of by Hubert Vo. Heflin was seen as being lazy last cycle and underestimated the threat of his Democratic challenger, waiting until the last few weeks to spend money, once it was too late.

With rumors still floating about that Jack Stick might file against Mark Strama, and that even Kelly White might still file for the HD-48 special election, there seems to be quite a number of races this cycle which are nothing but rematches. We'll see as the month goes on, since the filing deadline ends January 2.
