Shelley Sekula Gibbs is running for Tom Delay's seat as a write in candidate. Right now she is behind, but to be close to the front runner as a write in is amazing. The Democrats spent several thousand dollars advertizing among conservative Republicans to encourage them to write in in favor of another Republican conservative in order to dilute Sekula Gibbs votes. So far it doesn't look like it helped them at all.
