I haven't been able to confirm this, but somewhere I read Joe Strauss' PAC spent more money than was spent in all other Representative districts combined.

Whatever he spends, look at the huge contributions in this Dallas News article given to fight Strauss, then look further down and see the millions Strauss controls.

As long as voters can be lulled into thinking their choices are limited, this situation will continue. Disappointing Republicans will trade power with Democrats who don't live up to their faithful, either.

If that situation destabilizes, we'll get a disrupter. People like Strauss created Donald Trump. Abbott is pretty close to what I'd like to see in office, but the rest of State leadership is playing games with us.

My Senator, Schwertner, keeps his head down. Kacal, same thing in the House. When there is something I see going wrong in the State, I'm more active than, and probably more effective, than they are.
