I don't know what political forum staff writer Robby Robertson reported on last Thursday morning at Republican Headquarters, but it sure was different from the one I attended that morning.
Frankly, Lance Gooden looked like Ned and the First Reader compared to Rep. Brown. It is my understanding that this young man is currently unemployed, lived in Kaufman only a few years during his teens, and just recently came back from Houston to run for State Rep. His only political experience was one term working for Ms. Brown as an aide, and even then he quit before the term was up.
He put out the usual tired platitudes about "time for a change," and Rep. Brown not being available. Where has this kid been? Rep. Brown is at every event I go to, and many that I don't make. She has always been available any time I've had a question or concern. Right now, she is helping a group of us with a complaint against a local state licensed company.
She is even attending our next meeting.
I don't recall one fresh idea that Mr. Gooden came up with. We need someone who knows who to go to, how to get things done in Austin, and understands the importance of representing a wide and varied constituency. Ms. Brown has filled that role superbly the whole time she has been in office.
I am embarrassed that our local paper would put out such a bias coverage.
