I’m proud to endorse Nelson Jarrin for State Representative.

Well, if you’re endorsing him, I’ll be certain not to vote for him.

What does "plan to do everything I can to make sure he's successful" mean, exactly?

Thanks for letting the rest of us know who not to vote for...

Maybe he’ll actually represent us instead of fleeing to Washington. I already have a representative there Mr. Talarico.

An endorsement coming from you ain't a good sign.

You going to teach him how to send dick picks without ramifications?

Audit Texas!!!

Well, of the three Republicans running for the seat, he certainly seems the least disgusting. Given that Caroline Harris is a full-tilt believer in the Big Stolen Election Lie and Tjistse Miller is a huge fan of Allen "fascist and Florida carpetbagger" West, he really is the least objectionable choice. Still, though, I'd rather have Talarico, since he cares about preserving voters' rights and knows "voter fraud" is a GQP sham.

What ? No “Horns Down” posts this week ? I really question your political intelligence after that fiasco.

You didn't need to give "direction" to the PUC -- you had the power of legislation. By putting thins into law you'd risk the political donations of the power companies, so i understand your reluctance to do anything meaningful or useful to consumers.
