Meet Dot Nelson-Turnier, Democrat for SH-150
Dot Nelson-Turnier is running against Republican incumbent Debbie Riddle in the 150th district of the Texas House of Representatives, which comprises the northernmost portion of Harris County -- north of FM 1960 and east and west of Interstate 45 (map, .pdf). Riddle is infamous for the following comment:
"Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education, free medical care, free whatever? It comes from Moscow, from Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell. And it's cleverly disguised as having a tender heart. It's not a tender heart. It's ripping the heart out of this country."
Dot recently responded by e-mail to the following questions:
========================
Why are you running? What are your goals in office?
I am running because I feel no Republican should run unopposed. We have to give people a choice. My focus is on what I call the Killer E’s -- Economics, Education, Equity, Equality and Environment -- and I do not think the incumbent Republicans have been making much progress on these issues.
========================
Read the rest at Texas Tuesdays.
