Rick Noriega for US Senator.

Rick Noriega has been a State Rep for a number of years. He is a LT Colonel serving in Afghanistan. Due to come back in August. Well respected.

Just a thought.

1. Works for me, but If not that...........

I'd love to see him challenge Al Green in the primary in the 9th. Al Green did Tom Delay's bidding and took the Repuke $$$ and filed against Chris Bell. I don't recall the exact stats, but it's something like 35% Black and 32% Hispanic. Probably a majority of the Whites are Repuke/Rednecks. But the Dem primary winner takes it all. I can see some Repuke crossover to cast a vote for a returning vet.

Noriega in the 9th
Quan in the 7th
Lampson in the 22nd

I know others have been talking about it. Maybe about the senate seat too. I heard when Rick was home a couple of months ago for R&R he didn't want to discuss any of it until he gets back.

2. Love his wife too

Melissa has been serving out his Legislative term while he's been serving. She's a sharp woman too. They would make a great team to send to D.C.
