Texans in the General Election

Tomorrow is the Texas prime elections, in which voters will have a possibility to relieve themselves of such scourges to public learning as Don McLeroy and Ken Mercer. Cynthia Dunbar is, thankfully, departing the Board, as is Rick Agosto. Bob Craig, a right-wing Republican, is being disputed by somebody even more distant to the right.

So, my proposed votes in the Republican primaries. As habitually, these are my own attitude, and do not contemplate the outlooks of NCSE or any other organization.

District 1: Rene Nunez has filed for re-election and sprints unopposed in the prime, as does his presumptive Republican challenger. Probably a protected chair in the general election.

District 3: Probably protected Democratic seat. Vote for whichever Republican, I estimate, as it's hard to accept as factual Democrat Michael Soto will misplace the general election.

District 4: Lawrence Allen is running unopposed in both the prime and general election.

District 5: Anything to be relieve of incumbent Ken Mercer, who is are against in the prime by Tim Tuggey. I haven't glimpsed any thing disqualifying about any of the Democrats in this rush, but the Austin American Statesman's endorsement of Rebecca Bell-Metereau over Daniel Boone, Josiah James Ingalls, and Robert Bohmfalk appears attractive sensible. Boone did testify handily against creationist dialect at the SBOE hearings in January, which profits from him foremost cred.

District 9: I rather admired the cute baby alien but… oh, Texas' District 9: Someone had to comic to the anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-history Don McLeroy, and Thomas Ratliff appears to be doing a large job of it. No Democrats have filed in this rush, so the prime is the general election.

District 10: Dunbar is not searching re-election. Judy Jennings us running unopposed for this chair covering part of Austin, and the Republicans are selecting between Rebecca Osborne, Brian Russell, and Marsha Farney. Russell is Dunbar's "heir apparent," and authored a creationist stage for the Republican Party. The other two have no clear record on creationism or evolution, but Rebecca Osborne's crusade feels more educationally serious.

District 12: Geraldine "Tincy" Miller is an skilled constituent of the board and warrants to hold her chair against George Clayton's Republican prime challenge. No Democrat has filed.

District 15: Bob Craig brings thoughtful heft to Board considerations that effortlessly bests the blended wits of not less than half of the board, and warrants to win the Republican prime against Randy Rives. No Democrat has filed.

Today, the seal of the state of Texas has developed into a uniform design with both a front (obverse) and a reverse side. By law, the seal is required to authenticate official documents of the state. The origins of the seal go back to the early days of the republic.

The Convention of 1836 convened on March 2 at Washington on the Brazos and declared independence from Mexico. Ten days later, the convention adopted a resolution providing for "a single star of five points" as the "peculiar emblem" of the ...
