Well it's another Monday. And we have more topsy turvy news in the Democrat world.
Farouk Shami officially filed for Governor today. And our buddy ol' pal Richard "Kinky" Friedman announced he would not seek the Texas Governor's spot, but instead run for Agriculture Commissioner. Hank Gilbert already made the switch, so we will have a contested primary there as well.
TX House Rep. Myra Crownover of HD-64, drew a primary challenger on the GOP side of things in Denton County. Kurt Hyde, a 64 year old database administrator (a.k.a. Libertarian) is up for the challenge. I joke that he is a Libertarian, but it just seems like the local Libs are flush with computer admins in the party ranks. A quick Google search on Mr. Hyde indicates he probably likes Ron Paul quite a bit. Maybe it is something about being in a cubicle in the basement by yourself all day. I dunno.
We do not know of any local Democrats who have filed in Denton County. They typically file late, and there will be candidates for a few offices. In Dallas County, Eric Johnson officially filed to challenge TX House Rep Terri Hodge in the Democratic primary in HD-100. Dallas County is also looking at a multi candidate Democratic primary race for County Judge, but no word on filings yet that we know of.
