Taking Back The State House, Part 1: Dan Barrett

Early voting starts today in the special election for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives in Fort Worth. The only Democrat in the runoff, Dan Barrett, just got the endorsement of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, which you can read at this page. One of their key reasons was the need to replace the current Speaker -- that the Republican candidate has already pledged to back again. Barrett was also endorsed by the Texas Progressive Alliance of bloggers here.

The election is next Tuesday, so volunteers are working hard. You can help this week or this weekend. Call the campaign at 817-332-2580 or email to campaign AT danbarrett DOT com.
