Richard Morrison speaking in Austin August 4

[NoPasaran]

Richard Morrison will be appearing at the Austin Democracy for Texas meetup on August 4 at Scholz’s. Meetup will run from 7:00 - 8:00, followed by a speech by Richard. Please come and find out how you can help his campaign.

Sending Tom DeLay back to his exterminating business would be a huge step in taking back Texas. Dean Dozen candidate Richard Morrison is running a strong campaign to do just that in CD 22. Richard was an early supporter of Howard Dean’s and has many DFTers working long hours in his campaign, including Melissa Taylor, his volunteer coordinator.

TX-22: DCCC poll
by kos
Tue Aug 3rd, 2004 at 18:59:22 GMT

DeLay (R) 50 (46% without leaners)
Morrison (D) 36

Name recognition:
DeLay 94
Morrison 68

Job Approval rating (excellent/good):
Bush 59
DeLay 48

Character ratings for DeLay (very/fairly well):
"Being honest" 44
"Staying in touch with the people" 44
"Putting people before the special interests" 39

Partisan Preference:
Republican 50
Democrat 30


If Richard Morrison can continue his strong fundraising performance, there's a chance the DCCC might dip their toes into this race. No Democratic organization will want to fund a traditional media campaign for this district (in Houston's media market, it would cost about $3-4 million), but a strong grassroots effort could tap into resentment over DeLay's redistricting gambit while capitalizing on the Hammer's obvious addiction to special corporate interests.
