@Rogers4Texas
I live in Texas, and I'm running for Texas House.

I've had it with @GovAbbott, @tedcruz, and the GOP politicians in the #txlege.

How am I different from most of the folks in Texas politics?

Well... to start, I'm not a complete asshole.

It might be a GOOD message, but being an asshole seems to have worked for Republican legislators so far.
