Hey, if you’re an elected official, I have no problem if you show off your name in 100 point-sized letters on your departmental website. But what’s with making sure you and a buddy are listed as YOUR ELECTED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES IN PRECINCT 0635, yet there are some names missing?
Exhibit A–My own voter registration record from Leo’s website.
| YOUR ELECTED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES IN PRECINCT 0635 | |
| U.S. Senator: | John Cornyn |
| U.S. Senator: | Kay Bailey Hutchison |
| U.S. Representative: | Ted Poe |
| State Senator: | Tommy Williams |
| State Representative: | Joe Crabb |
| Harris County Judge: | Ed Emmett |
| Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector: | Leo Vasquez |
| Harris County Commissioner: | Jerry Eversole |
| Harris County Constable: | Ron Hickman |
| Justice of the Peace Pos. 1: | Judge J. Kent Adams |
| Justice of the Peace Pos. 2: | Judge Tom Lawrence |
| State Board of Education: | David Bradley |
I see Vasquez on the list. I even see Ed Emmett. The one’s that should be there are my district and precinct elected officials. So if Leo and Ed are on the list, where’s my District Clerk? Where’s my County Attorney?
Clearly, this is just another stab at Leo trying to get more play, while helping Ed, too. Here’s the big secret: They’re both up for re-election in 2010! Hmmm.
Still, the website clearly states it should be my ELECTED DISTRICT representative. Vasquez is not a district rep., and we all know, he sure as hell wasn’t elected! So, what exactly is he trying to pull?
