TX CD-10: Another Candidate Gets Netroots Attention
Vince Leibowitz | Aug 07, 2007 | Comments 0
Last week, Rep. Rick Noriega (D-Houston) was getting all the attention from the Netroots for his star turn at Yearly Kos. But, he’s not the only Texan who is garnering attention following the convention.
CD-10 Democrat Dan Grant is as well, from no less than Matthew Yglesias:
One of the most interesting people I met at YearlyKos was Dan Grant, who worked in Afghanistan and Iraq on democracy-building programs and is now running for congress in Texas’ 10th congressional district. It’s not the most liberal seat on the planet, but the GOP incumbent ran unopposed in 2004 and only got 55 percent of the vote in 2006, so given that the very softest of targets have almost all broken Democratic already and that the larger political climate continues to be very favorable to Democrats (see, e.g., this PDF from Democracy Corps).
That’s a great mention for Grant.
