We recommend challenger Carlos Uresti in the Democratic primary. A state representative from Bexar County's District 118 since 1997, Uresti displayed bold leadership. As chairman of the House Human Services Committee, he strived to boost the state's overburdened Child Protective Services. Uresti has earned a promotion.

He spearheaded efforts to oppose House Bill 2292 in 2003. That bill, which eventually passed in the Republican-controlled Legislature, cut funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program and lowered the personal needs allowances for nursing home residents.

Although Madla voted against the final bill, his critical vote to bring the measure to the floor for debate allowed its eventual passage. The district's constituents need a leader in Austin they can rely on when it comes to caring for the state's poor, young and elderly.

Makes perfect sense to me. Gosh, I really don't know what more to say.

I guess I'll just let Madla say it for me: http://theredstate.typepad.com/texas/2006/02/madla_says_he_l.html
">"When I get to the State Capitol, I lock the Democratic Party in my trunk."

1. I endorse Uresti too, for all that's worth

I certainly don't like being locked in anyone's trunk. Plus Senator Eliott Shapleigh also endorsed Carlos Uresti, and that carries a lot of weight with me. In fact a lot more than the San Antonio Express.

Madla needs to retire.
