TX CD 10: Dan Grant Endorses Larry Joe Doherty

Former Democratic Congressional candidate Dan Grant (D-Austin) has endorsed Larry Joe Doherty (D-Brenham) in the CD 10 race. From the Austin Chronicle:

“Middle-class families and small businesses have been pushed to the brink of bankruptcy by the administration’s economic incompetence,” Grant said. “In the midst of the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression, Larry Joe Doherty wants to turn the page — and Mike McCaul wants to laminate it.”

Grant said the fact that the 10th Congressional District’s boundaries were redrawn during a controversial redistricting scheme pushed by disgraced former Congressman Tom DeLay is part of the same culture of corruption that has led to the current financial crisis.

“Central Texas deserves a fresh start under new leadership,” Grant said. “No more endless war in Iraq, no more Katrina, no more McCaulonomics putting at risk the pension and small business of ordinary taxpayers who work hard and play by the rules.”

Grant is a foreign policy consultant who spent much of the past decade working as a civilian under contract to the U.S. Government in trouble spots around the world. He returned to Texas last year from Iraq, where he served as part of the international civilian team in Baghdad. He helped the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq prepare and conduct the historic elections of 2005 and, as deputy director of Iraq’s largest out-of-country voting program, oversaw the effort to register eligible voters in major U.S. cities for Iraq’s Transitional National Assembly election.
