Gibson is the only declared candidate for a state House district where the Republican incumbent has already served the maximum number of terms allowed by law. Democrats have until Thursday to come up with a candidate. The filing deadline for independent candidates is June 1.

He also apologized to Gonzalez, but not to Hogg.

Some GOP consultants are telling their candidates that being outlandish and demagogic wins elections. All candidates should campaign just like Trumpy. Spew hate and you'll get somewhere.

It's a one-trick pony. Folks are finally beginning to figure that out.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing the GOP run unopposed.

Name this candidate so we can send some money his/her way.
