Well if this isn’t a smack in the political face of Toni Lawrence!
County Commissioner Pct. 4 Jerry Eversole had decided to stay and run for re-election. For GOPers in my neck of the woods, the plot thickens.
As I mentioned previously, we’ve got a carpetbagger in our midst who wants the job calling herself a “new republican voice.”
In July, Lawrence changed her residence on her voter registration card to a 648-square-foot rancher in Oak Forest so she would be eligible to reside in her council district and campaign for the Precinct 4 seat, she said at the time. Her previous residence was in Precinct 1. Texas Election Code requires a candidate live in a precinct for at least six months prior to the January filing deadline for the Republican primary.
Let’s see, right-wing, anti-government, anti-Latino conservative. What’s so new about that?
And what do the experts say?
Political consultant Bethel Nathan said, “I think Jerry starts out with an advantage…”
Eversole starts out, as reported in July, with close to $1.7 million. Though no report was filed by Antoinette Lawrence with Harris County, her City of Houston finance report has her with a little less than $200,000.
That’s one helluva advantage!
Well, when the whole 287(g)/Border Watch press conference was called at City Hall after the failed council meeting (aka the Sideshow), it was pretty obvious why Lawrence called it–to try to out right-wing the right-wing.
One thing is for sure, I’ll enjoy this fight just watching them spend money against each other, scorching some right-wing political earth and the like.
