Texas Ten

[bryant]

Redistricting has made Texas politics a bit of a mess this year. For the moment, we live in TX-10, with a Republican incumbent. There was a reasonably strong Democratic candidate planning to run, but he pulled out due to some unfavorable redraws of the map. For our reference, two Democrats filed for the primary: Tawana Cadien and William Miller, Jr. I can’t find anything on the latter. Cadien was a delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention and has been reasonably busy in local Democratic politics for a couple of years. There’s a William J. Miller who contributed a fair bit of money to various candidates in the 2010 elections, but the middle initial is wrong. Neither of them have campaign Web sites up for this cycle, so I don’t expect either of them are really plausible opponents, alas.

I voted for Dan Grant in the primary and met his brother in 2010 when we lived in his district. If he runs in 2014, he's definitely worth considering. I'd recommend following the tx-10 and cd-10 tags on burntorangereport to know what's going on.

Also offthekuff.com will be covering this race, since the district still hits Houston.

But yeah, they drew the district to protect McCaul (R-Clear Channel).

Dan Grant was indeed the guy who dropped out. I like his background.

McCaul, richest guy in Congress.
