quote:

Richard Wolf of Flower Mound is a 23-year-old college dropout who lives at home with his parents and says he's never held a job for more than a few months and "never paid taxes." Nevertheless, he's quick to outline which taxes (paid by others) he'd increase to pay for his favorite programs. We suspect residents in this district would prefer somebody with a bit of life experience who can complete a questionnaire without resorting to profanities or boasts that he "will be the best legislator of all time."

This district voted for Trump, so the Dallas Morning News clearly doesn't know what it's talking about. But the Dallas Morning News having no idea what it's talking about is not unusual.

i actually think he's running in the same district as rex tillerson's home address.

he's got a ranch out there somewhere.

so what i'm saying is that i think you need to see if ol' rex will vote for you. probably not going to happen but his vote has to be worth like x1000 regular votes.

Apparently it's too late for me to mount a campaign against Burgess (Dec 11 deadline) but I think I can still take on Lynn Stucky who isn't even from here.
morris seems like the left candidate in the dem primary in that race but his meme potential seems low.

i don't know how left he really is though. but in any case it's a state house district where you're in a session for a few months every two years. seems like a swell guy.

your sign blurb should be something like "From Here, For Here." Cuz even tho she's also probably that it will raise questions that she ain't, and rich white suburban Texans love some affected authenticity.
the former and highly corrupt sherriff of denton county was great at this for awhile by convincing voters he was descended from william b. travis of the alamo because his name was also william b. travis despite not being from texas at all.

oh this district also includes the town of DISH, which renamed itself after the DISH Network in exchange for free satellite TV

it was originally named Clarke after the town founder and first mayor, but a resulting power struggle led to Clarke becoming not-mayor and the town renaming itself to DISH. Clarke was erased like a discredited communist apparatchik.

so there have been pro- and anti-Clarke factions since then, and the recent pro-Clarke faction campaigned during the last election with the slogan "Back to Clarke, Texas!" (they lost)

the pro-DISH faction is actually the more environmentally progressive faction if I remember right. because of so much fracking in the area, the pro-DISH former mayor once told the news: "Run. Run as fast as you can. Grab up your family and your belongings, and get out."

as someone who has seen a dude just chilling in his vehicle (covered in trump and infowars stickers) in a whataburger parking lot in corinth at 11:00 a.m. on a weekday, with his door open and with talk radio cranked up, i think giving an interview to infowars is a good idea.
