Travis County is the bluest county in Texas and on March 4th, voters have a chance to make it a TRUE BLUE Delegation in the Texas Legislature. Brian Thompson is running against Dawwna Dukes for District 46. Brian has received every major endorsement in the Travis County area and for good reason. He cares about the district and is willing to vote for the people of Texas instead of supporting Tom Craddick and his minions who have thrown children of SCHIP, stolen women’s rights away each legislative session, sold out Texas land owners for the Trans Texas Corridor, and were instrumental in writing legalized discrimination into the Texas Constitution.
Brian Thompson has been indorsed by the Texas Progressive Alliance. He has also been endorsed by :
Austin Progressive Coalition
University Democrats
Victory Fund
Central Austin Democrats
Texas Environmental Democrats
Southwest Austin Democrats
Capital Area Progressive Democrats
Teamsters Local 657
Capital Area Asian American Democrats
Austin Stonewall Democrats
South Austin Democrats
Austin Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus
Brain has also been endorsed by Lon Burnam
House District 80
Lon Burnam is the only Democrat in the House who has voted against Craddick from the beginning. It is time we had more strong Democrats in the Texas Legislature who are not afraid to speak out against the autocratic rule of Tom Craddick and the devastation which is being wrought on Texas and our quality of life. The time has come to hold our elected officials accountable for their action and non-action when it comes to taking care of their districts and the rest of Texas.
Brian is willing to work to make the quality of life better for all Texans and not just a select few. Teachers and students alike will have a strong advocate in the Ledge once Brian is elected. Women and children will not have to worry about their rights being stolen from them by the privileged who can buy their way out of any problem and are willing to let the rest of Texas suffer. Our retired teachers will not see Brian vote against a raise in their pension. Brian will be at the forefront leading the charge for changes and fighting injustice as an elected officials should be instead of skipping votes or voting the right way but not speaking out. It is time for strong leadership in the Travis County Legislative Delegation. Brian will be a welcome addition to some of the already strong voices for Texas and Travis County!!!

i just saw this guy’s anti-Dawnna Dukes commercial and it is horrible, cheap footage of her walking in public, “Dawnna… went to Paris, while *good* Democrats stayed home…”
Really horrible, out of sync with what I know about Dukes. He has a long way to go to prove himself when his opening bid to us is, “the other candidate skips town.”
She may have done some wrong, why not be specific?
I’ve followed Dukes for a while and the accusations in the commercial seem hand-picked, rare, etc. PLUS the commercial says nothing about what HE STANDS FOR!
So negative, if I lived in this district I would vote for Dukes just because this guy doesn’t know how to talk about himself.
Why not make a new commercial showing us what you do and what you stand for?????
So, you would vote for a CradDICK Dem with highly questionable ethics over a guy whose commercial you didn’t like?
Nice reasoning.
