JAB Endorsements!
Let me start with saying sorry for the delay. My computer died for the third time in a month and for all intensive purposes, I now have a completely new laptop! Ugh…
I am going to list the endorsements by position on the ballot and I encourage you to agree or disagree with any and all of them.
Senate:
Barbara Radnofsky
US Congress District 28
Ciro Rodriguez
Governor
Bob Gammage
Senate District 19
Carlos Uresti
House District 118
Joe Farias
Carla Vela
County Commissioner Precinct 2
Paul Elizondo
These races I have followed closely. I do not make any attempt to endorse in races that I have either no knowledge of either candidate or only know one side of the story.

Great call on endorsing Bob Gammage! I hope to have in my life to have as much integrity, honesty, and openness cumulatively that Bob has in his little finger.

I appreciate the fact that you followed the races and made your own recommendation.
I see the conventional wisdom being echoed in too many newspapers and other blogs.
The conventional wisdom that compliance is the path to majority hasn't gotten us very far in the past decade or so. I think Democrats and progressives need to declare their principles with passion, with the knowledge that the things we believe in also are cherished by most Americans.
Bob Gammage is a man of courage and conviction and would make a worthy governor at a time when Texans need a strong leader with the demonstrated ability to stand against the corruption that has done such damage to our state. Thanks for adding your endorsement to the many who are choosing Bob Gammage.
Endorsing Bob Gammage was the right call. He's got the integrity, the determination to follow through with ending the dirty politics as usual, and the experience because he's done it before. He lives his life as a model to what he says he'll do and will be the best change for Texas.
Bob disappointed me today, with the negative attacks on Chris Bell about his financial disclosure.
What financial disclosure would that be?
As I understand it, more than a week after they were due, Bell was the only governor candidate who hadn't made the required disclosure.
When Bell ran for the Houston City Council, and he DID file a disclosure, he publicly contemplated filing formal complaints with the Texas Ethics Commission against any candidate who hadn't filed by the deadline.
To wit:
"A representative of the Bell campaign indicated complaints against the other candidates vying for Councilman John Peavy's seat may soon be filed with the Austin-based Ethics Commission."

I really enjoyed your blog posts, thank you.
