Didn't he then move to the neighboring district and run again, maybe only in the primary, and get beat again? If not, he was considering it. Can't recall for certain. Used to hear him and about him on Quinn, but he dropped off the radar for obvious reasons once he hooked up with the ACLU.
I don’t recall, exactly, but I think the redistricting gave him the option of running in a different district which probably would have worked out better for him. For some reason, he chose to run against Linder, instead. I never understood why he did that.
