Secretary of State Asked To Declare Candidate Ineligible
Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade has been asked to declare long-time State Board of Education member David Bradley ineligible to serve on the Board should he win reelection to the body November 4.
A formal letter has been sent to Sec. Andrade by Houston attorney Chad Dunn. In it, he details the fact that Bradley has not lived in the district he represents - as required by state law - since at least 2000. (SBOE District 7 includes Galveston, Jefferson and Chambers Counties, a portion of Brazoria County, and a large portion of East and South Harris County.)
Bradley has alienated even his fellow Republicans with his extremist views. His Democratic challenger is Laura Ewing, a Friendswood educator who is running an aggressive campaign against the long-time incumbent who was first elected in 1996.
Ewing -- who has been endorsed by the Houston Chronicle, Beaumont Enterprise and many others groups -- is currently airing a hard-hitting television ad that calls for Bradley to be "expelled" from the School Board. The ad can be viewed at www.ewingfortexas.com.
