Domestic Political Errand

56 years ago, today. It was also a Friday. It changed the world.

Domestic political errand was a phrase used at the impeachment hearing yesterday that caught my attention. A very good description. Errand boys for sure

NARAL endorsed Anna Eastman for the #TXHD148SpecialRunoffElection yesterday. Anna’s support keeps growing. The special election is January 28, 2020 with Early Voting in Person beginning on January 21, 2020.

I went to The Dean’s reception last night. His remarks included a touching few words about his daughter Whitney. Whitney is a lobbyist. The Dean said that Whitney was in the same line of work as his and that it was neat that they could be able to talk shop at the house. Nice!

From the say it ain’t so department. I heard last night that H-Town Council Member Dwight Boykins is considering a run for the Texas House of Representatives against an incumbent Democrat. Sigh.

This has to be a rookie mistake. The Chron has an article on the H-Town City Council District H runoff. Check this from the article:

“I’m not one who backs down from confrontation,” (Isabel) Longoria said. “I think confrontation is a warrior fighting for their community. And I don’t think Karla (Cisneros) has that same warrior spirit. I think she’s a teacher, and that’s great. But we can’t teach our way out of this problem.”

Here is the entire article: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Longoria-puts-progressive-bona-fides-up-against-14852726.php.

Teachers need not apply to run for H-Town City Council. I am sure she didn’t mean to say that. Just a rookie mistake. She talks so fast it just fell out of her mouth, I guess. That’s funny. Rookie for sure.
