(145,231 posts)MJ Hegar is running for senate. There are a decent number of Democrats running for senate but I have not heard who is going to run against Carter. I keeping hoping that Beto will run for senate again

Beautiful strong ladies, every one!

(220 posts)Pete Olson from Texas (R) is retiring, Kim Olson (D) was planning on running against R Kenny Merchant but I read today that Merchant will be announcing his retirement in the next day or 2.
I am not sure but I think McDowell was the candidate that came within 3 points of beating Merchant in the last election.

Kenny was a high school graduate and completed studies at the Southern Nazarene Theological Seminary in Oklahoma, where books are pretty cheap because theres only one. He was one of the founding members of the Tea Party.
So, it looks like Dallas is gonna go totally blue. Im ready to fight for it.
Yall, one of my girlfriends and favorite lunch dates, Kim Olson, is running against Marchant. See her movie and drop $5 in her flash funding.
