Strongly recommend Randy Weber. He was my state congressman for two terms. Most Conservative I’ve seen in 50 years of voting. He is ever present, always honestly answers every question and is truly among the most honest and thrifty people I know, not only with his money but with everyone else’s. People in this district are the luckiest in the world to be able to vote to elect him.
What Michigan district are Republicans losing due to lack of signatures? I believe that all 9 GOP incumbents are running for reelection in GOP-leaning seats, and the one incumbent who may (and hopefully will) lose in the GOP primary, moderate Fred Upton of MI-06, would be replaced by conservative Republican Jack Hoogendyk, who also would win the general.
And as for the TX-14, that’s not a seat the GOP would be picking up; it’s merely one that it would hold.
I just say a post about what you were referring to—McCotter may not have gotten enough sigs for the primary ballot due to a large number of duplicates. But I think he’d win the primary running as a write-in, and would be a slam dunk in November.
This will be an interesting race after the redistricting plan. The East side has nothing in common with the West side. They have now added Jefferson County into the mix and removed it from Poe’s district. I’m not sure what the results will be.
I do know that Nick Lampson is running in the democrat side and he did hold the district under the old maps. He is from Jefferson county but has ties in the West side of the district. Steve Stockman defeated Jack Brooks back in 1994 and then was defeated by Nick Lampson. So who knows how this will turn out.
