A Complex Race in a Complex Town

Anna Mowery resigned as State Representative for District 97, and now the special election for her seat is so full of candidates it resembles the Dallas mayoral race.

The race includes 7 candidates: 6 Republicans and Democrat Dan Barrett, who has been aggressive. BOR reported the other day that Taking Back Texas was out helping him raise some money.

What I wanted to point you to, though, was a story in the Austin American-Statesman which breaks down the candidates and some of their positions, examines Fort Worth politics, and discusses the impact Tom Craddick will have on the race. To catch up on the race and figure out who's who, I recommend reading this.
