Photos Released Of State House Candidate In Drag
Candidate Calls Photos Blackmail
UPDATED: 5:34 PM CDT April 8, 2004
CLEBURNE, Texas -- Republican party leaders in Johnson County are debating what to do after photos of a leading candidate for the state House of Representatives surfaced showing him dressed as a woman.
It is unclear how many photos there are, when they were taken or why this is all coming out so close to the April 13 Republican runoff election.
The candidate, prominent businessman Sam Walls, doesn't deny dressing as a woman, but he calls the appearance of the photos blackmail, NBC 5 News reported.
In the politically conservative county, the pictures have created a buzz. Republican party leaders are divided over what to do.
Walls' opponent, realtor Rob Orr, said a man he won't identify showed the photos to him, and Orr, in turn, informed party leaders.
Walls vowed to fight back, saying his wife, family and friends all agreed that it would be wrong to give in to blackmail.
Orr denied the blackmail charge.
"I think he needs to explain to the voters in District 58 his lifestyle," Orr said.
A statement released late Tuesday by the Johnson County Republican leaders didn't mention any candidate by name but said the party believes in traditional, conservative, mainstream values and called on candidates to live their lives beyond reproach.

Maybe Sam Walls will change his name to "Sugar Walls."

Why do people with power always doing something totaly stupid that always seems to bite them in the butt? Is it too hard to just lead a normal life?
