Texas House: Who Is In, Who Is Out

KVUE’s Elise Hu, rapidly becoming one of the state’s best MSM reporters-turned-bloggers, has a nice run-down of who is leaving the Texas Legislature and not running in 2008, and who is staying (but was reported to be leaving).

So, for those of you keeping score at home, here is Elise’s list:

State Rep. Robby Cook, D-Eagle Lake
State Rep. Dianne White Delisi, R-Temple, Public Health Chair
State Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richardson, Local Ways and Means Chair
State Rep. Robert Puente, D-San Antonio, Natural Resources Chair
State Rep. Mike O’Day, R-Pearland
State Rep. Robert Talton, R-Pasadena, (likely running for US Representative)
State Rep. Rick Noriega, D-Houston, (left to run for US Senate)
State Rep. Anna Mowery, R-Fort Worth, Land and Resource Mgmt Chair, already out

I feel like I’m forgetting someone. Am I?

People who are running again even though we they thought they weren’t:
State Rep. Buddy West, R-Odessa
State Rep. Paul Moreno, D-El Paso

I think that’s pretty complete.
