Confused by DeLay

I am a little confused about DeLay having to run for re-election in 06. I thought that he ran in 04.

What am I missing here?

If in fact he was re-elected in 04, he wouldn't have to ran again until 08.

Did the election last year have something to do with with the illegal redistricting?

Appreciate someone setting me straight.

3. No Wonder I'm Confused

All this time I thought that representatives served 4 years, and the senate served 6 years.

I guess I'm totally out of the loop on this one!

2. House members run every two years.

Senators every six years.
