Perry To Speak In Contested State Rep Primary District—But It’s Not A Campaign Stop…

The Greenville Herald Banner notes that State Rep. Dan Flynn (R-Van) will be “co-hosting” an appearance of Gov. Rick Perry in Greenville Tuesday for the Governor to talk about his education plan.
Of course, Flynn may have been a little too quick to note it isn’t a campaign stop:
“The Governor wants to put his program out there,†Flynn said. “This is not a campaign stop. I spoke to him several weeks ago, and he said he would like to come into the district. His office called yesterday to confirm it and Graham Sweeney agreed to help host it because he knows the needs of public education. We wanted to have in Greenville since it has the largest school system in the district.â€
Sure. It’s probably not a campaign stop for Perry, but how about for Flynn? Perry endorsed Flynn during a November visit to the district. And, Flynn’s facing a GOP opponent in Chuck Tull, Jr. (R-Edgewood) and a Democratic opponent in November, Scott Cornaud (D-Quinlan).
And, to top it all off, the Herald-Banner says the Office of the Governor “could not immediately confirm the details of the visit.” Hum…maybe they should have called the campaign office?
