HD 48 Runoff Set for Valentine's Day
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Via QR, news that the runoff in House District 48 will be set for Tuesday, February 14, Valentine's Day. This was rumored at last night's Travis County Democratic Party Dinner, where Donna got some "mad props" from everyone on up to Lloyd Doggett who apparently was talking about her to the Congressional Democratic Caucus last week...
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was the one to give the official order because Perry is off in Iraq on a "bi-partisan Department of Defense-sponsored mission to visit Texas troops serving in the Middle East." Make of that what you will.
Most local officials felt comfortable with the date set. Strangely, the less time the Republican machinery has to get its act together after their embarrassing 37% showing the better for us. So donate to Donna Howard and we'll be one step closer to 6-0 in '06 here in Travis County.
Howard picked up the Austin Association of Professional Firefighters and the Travis County Sheriff’s Officers Association endorsements today. Her other endorsements include... Education Austin, Texas State Teachers Association, Texas Federation of Teachers, Texas Nurses Association, Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists, Coalition for Nurses in Advanced Practice, Central Labor Council, Texas State Employees Union, People for Efficient Transportation PAC, and the Austin American-Statesman, Austin Chronicle, Daily Texan.

We liked this picture so much from In the Pink we thought we should share it with you as well.
Like Andy, you should Donate to the Donna Howard campaign and give us a pick up in the House going into the next Special Election in HD 106 in Dallas. Katy Hubener would love to have some wind at her back.
