When are you going to add something about Stephanie Simmons?

We're working on it. We wanted to wait until the outcome of Bell's lawsuit against to see if she would be on the ballot or not. She is.

It's a tossup between Furse and Huffman - Bell has nothing to offer.

Furse's experience may be more applicable to a legislative position.

Say what you might about Bell, he's the only experience candidate in the race. I wish he would talk about more than just education and CHIP, though.

Don't you have anything else on Simmons? I'm so angry at Bell that I'm just looking for an excuse to vote for her.

Simmons has been difficult to get in touch with, as you know if you have been reading the news stories. We'll get to her, and plenty more down-ballot candidates, in short order. Meanwhile, if you have any races you see missing, just let us know.

Former President Bill Clinton will appear next week at a fundraiser for Chris Bell, candidates for Texas senate. Bell, the perennial candidate and occasional officeholder, has recently bumped his fundraising success into the big leagues previously held by his two closest Republican opponents, Austen Furse and Joan Huffman.
Clinton will appear at the home of Arthur Schechter, his former ambassador to Bermuda and an active fundraiser for Democratic Party candidates.
The normally Republican-leaning Senate District 17 is an open seat due to the resignation of Kyle Janek. Because the race is split between four Republican and two Democrat, and because Bell has high name identification ratings due to his previous runs for political office, he is considered to be competitive in this race. Now that he has brought his fundraising up to match his name ID, Bell's chances appear equal to anything a Republican opponent can muster. See an upcoming article for details of the October 6th financial filings.
Read here for more information about the candidates running for Texas Senate District 17.
