Every Tuesday some Texas bloggers point out some Texas Democratic congressmen who need your support.
This week's candidate profile is incumbent Congressman Nick Lampson. Congressman Lampson currently represents the 9th district. Lampson is now running in the redrawn 2nd district. Clearly, the biggest challenge will be in finding Dem voters in the northeastern part of Harris county.
Lampson was first elected in 1996, ousting the infamous Steve Stockman, who had infamously offed legendary Texas Congressman Jack Brooks in the 1994 elections. Feel free to chip in a little coffee money for the Lampson campaign, always remembering to add .36 to the donation so we can potentially track how successful we are in this endeavor.
Lampson faces a tough re-election in this district, which was clearly carved out to elect a Republican. Harris County Judge Ted (wacky creative sentences) Poe is the GOP nominee, and there's clearly no shortage of ammo available to fire with, so the race is not a foregone conclusion.
Personally, i feel this is going to be a tough challenge but Nick Lampson is well known and has represented Texas well.
