Libertarian John Jay Myers joins TX-32 race

From Dallas Morning News:
Onetime city council candidate and longtime Libertarian John Jay Myers has announced his plans to runs for U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions' seat. The campaign will officially kick off Jan. 28.

Myers ran a spirited but doomed campaign for City Council member Carolyn Davis' 7th district seat. Virtually unknown to the district's political and religious establishment, he nevertheless won quite a few votes through tireless campaigning and a message that seemed to resonate with voters from Buckner Terrace to East Oak Cliff...
The Sessions Watch team welcomes John Jay Myers into the race, and wishes him all the best. We invite our Libertarian readers to check out John's website at this link: John Jay Myers for United States Congress.

seems like he's really going for it. No offense to Alex Bischoff but Libertarians need somebody who campaigns full time.

So what happened to our GOP guy, anybody know if he filed?

He's still in, Nancy, just saw his column. Apparently, DCRA gave no endorsement in the TX-32 race. He's got stats in his article which pretty much look like what we've seen so far.

is it too early to declare victory? We've all heard that anybody who challenges SEssions will win teh primary, that rumor's been flying since he first got in Congress.,

Oh, yay, there's an article in today's paper. I got worried when I didn't see his name ont he lists but I guess they;re still being updated:

Hopefuls with 'Tea Party' ties take on Texas' U.S. House incumbents

Of course they're playing up the tea party angle but if they really look at what David Smith has to offer they'll find out he has the same fiscal conservatism they supposedly keep endorsing Sessions for, but without the corruption.
