Early voting for the run-off election for the 180th District Court Republican candidate begins tomorrow (Monday, April 5th).
There is only one race on the ballot that affects the CJC, so look for voter turnout to be incredibly low. Sadly, that is usually a benefit to the woefully incompetent.
Ask Pat Lykos.
Marc Brown has been endorsed by Senator Dan Patrick, Paul Bettencourt, and former-District Attorney Johnny Holmes as the best candidate in this race.
And he is running against a completely unqualified candidate.
Please please please please please go vote.
A lot of the voting sites that you THINK are your voting locations will not be open on the actual voting day, so voting early is the smart thing to do. Don't get caught by surprise.
Go vote. Take a friend. Do the right thing and make a difference.

Murray,
The Johnny Holmes era prosecutors are long gone....doing what is right because it is the right thing to do has been replaced with "staying under the radar".
Pretty sad and embarrassing.
I just sent this website off to my kids telling there where they can vote today and tomorrow:

Go to Harris Votes and look at the pull down menu that shows a map for early voting.
Dexter's campaign report shows he paid $5000 to Lowry, $5000 to Polland and $3000 to Police Inc. He was endorsed by all three. It is time to put these type of groups out of business. Get out there and vote for Marc Brown, he is working for your vote.
Danny Dexter reminds me of an old MOLLY HATCHETT song...
"Flirtin with Disaster"
Y'all need to read Big Jolly today. It breaks down how much Dexter has paid the whores aka Lowry, Polland, Millard (Police Inc), and Hotze. Of course only the voters will get screwed in this love for sale deal. Here comes Judge Dexter. The worlds oldest profession starts with the letter "P". Politics!
Hell, I'll endorse him for $1,500.00. I could take a day off if I did that.
And who said cops couldn't be bought!
Anyone noticed that POLICE INK is the only police group in the entire county to endorse Dexter.
If Marc Brown loses the 180th how can anyone legitimately argue that Political Pat will be beaten in 2012?
IF a qualified candidate decides to challenge Political Pat she will simply put up cronies like Jim Leitner and others to water down the field and insure a runoff.
The blue hairs are the deciding factor in a Republican runoff and will vote for what they know not for who is most qualified and that is sadly why Marc will lose.
I'm definitely in the wrong profession. Legal assistants must make a ton of money.
I mean, Glenn Devlin's legal assistant gave $5,000 to Conservative Republicans of Harris County PAC.
You know who they are - they pay for Steven Hotze's slate card. The one that endorsed Glenn Devlin.
It's funny none of you had a problem with the slate endorsements when your boy Don Smyth, a total political unknown, cruised to the nomination on them.

Smyth was on ONE slate card - Hotze's. I thought it was odd at the time but wasn't looking through Hotze's reports. I am today.
And on 2/24, an A.O. Smyth from Lufkin (retired) gave $5,000 to CRHC - the PAC that pays for Hotze's slate. I have emailed Mr. and Mrs. Smyth seeking comment. There is also an entry on the same day for the SPAC report that lists a Don Smith giving $5,000 - I'm assuming these two transactions are actually one and the same.
My bad for not pointing that out before the election.
Just noticed I put the date at 2/24. It was actually on 2/26.
How in the heck did Devlin's opponent get 46% of the vote with no pay-to-play endorsements? Maybe REAL endorsements matter?

Anon 9:51 you left too early, Marc Brown wins. To long the king was the pay for endorsements, well the king is dead, long live the real king, the voters of Harris County.
