TX-29 - Eric Story

Texas 29, a seat held by incumbent Gene Green (D) is ripe for the picking. Gene did not have a Republican contender for the past 4 elections. It sits in a heavily populated district that was gerrymandered by the Architect (Tom Delay) to make the other districts more heavily Republican. This TX-29 was forgotten in the shuffle. In his attempts to stack the deck, Mr Delay wrote off TX-29 and TX-18 as too heavily democratic to work with.

Well times have changed. TX-29 is well positioned because of growth in the Humble area, East Houston, and North Houston in General. The boundaries and gentrification of these areas are building up a huge Republican base. (Think Ted Poe Country).

Now that Gene Green is nice an comfy in that house, lets give him a shake up.

Eric Story is running for TX-29 and has a great chance to take this seat away from the Democrats. This is from his website:

    Yes, the GOP needs more Eric Storys, more Sarah Palins, more Bobby Jindals, more diversity. The end of the old white man party is coming.
    Whatever happened to Colin Powell’s endorsement of B.O.?

  2. RayinNH Says:

    Brett - this is a great piece. I hope we will see more of these over the next 60 days.

    As a San Antonian, This is an interesting story. Hopefully we can shake things up a little in Austin as well as in the U.S. House.
