After listening to three Libertarian Party candidates last Thursday at the Kathie Glass for Governor Meet and Greet in Webster, my biggest impression wasn't the candidates themselves but was that this isn't your daddy's Libertarian Party. I doubt that the icons of libertarianism would even recognize many of the positions that these candidates are taking in their quest for office.
At this point, I'd have to say no, she will not. But first, I'd probably have to tell you who she is and that is part of the problem - not a whole lot of name recognition and not a whole lot of press, which equals bad news for any candidate. She is the Libertarian Party candidate for Governor of Texas this year - betcha didn't know that, did you?
I've been to a lot of "meet and greets" for political candidates but I don't recall one that was more fun than the one that the HCRP held for Texas State Rep District 134 candidate Sarah Davis. Even if I did have to get to Goode's Armadillo Palace via an ark!
Hot temperatures and threatening skies did not keep thousands from coming out to enjoy a good old fashioned Fourth of July parade down Irvington Street in north Houston. This is America at her best. From new born to the over 80 gang, all were there to enjoy the parade. Many were waving flags and dressed in patriotic clothing.
The Harris County Republican Party has been holding a series of Meet and Greet style events for candidates running for State Representatives. I missed the first two events, first for Fernando Herrera, challenging Rep. Jessica Farrar in District 148, and then one for Jack O'Connor, challenging Rep. Hubert Vo in District 149. It appears that they are going to have one of these each Wednesday evening throughout the summer. Last evening's edition was for Michael Bunch, who is challenging Rep. Senfronia Thompson in District 141.
