She should have a really good campaign issue -- "The Democrats didn't want you to have a choice, so they sued to keep me off the ballot.

Now, you can keep them out of office, by writing in Shelly Sekula Gibbs.

Show them that in a democracy, the PEOPLE decide which names are on the ballots, not the special interests.

I personally don't think Sekula-Gibbs would have been the candidate if the courts had somehow found DeLay ineligible. A finding of DeLay's ineligibility would have opened up a lot of potential candidates that a write-in campaign wouldn't. For example, any politician already on the ballot in a November race would have been eligible if DeLay had been declared ineligible. That means state legislators or county executives could have been nominated. Because DeLay was found eligible, it limited the choice to people not on the November ballot -- essentially elected municipal officials.
