“If you’re in TX25, vote for Wes Riddle for Congress. The Riddle/Garrison race is a Cruz/Dewhurst race in miniature. Garrison is another GOP insider who thinks it should be his turn at the trough. Riddle is the real deal Constitutional patriot.”


Who is Garrison? Riddle’s opponent in the TX-25 run-off is former Secretary of State Roger Williams. http://www.rogerforcongress.com/

My first choice in TX-25 was former Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams, but he didn’t make the run-off. Michael Williams was the true grassroots, TEA Party conservative in the race. Riddle appears to be the candidate of Ron Paul and his acolytes, and, frankly, I’d rather have Roger Williams that another Paulistinian in Congress.

Sorry, my brain broke traction there for a moment. My apologies to Garrison. Roger Williams is indeed Riddle's opponent, supported by the same crowd as Dewhurst. Garrison was one of the primary candidates who didn't make the cut but has endorsed Riddle in the runoff.

I've met Wes. He founded Central TX Tea Party. I don't read him as a hardline Paulista but the southern end of TX25 seems heavily Paul country so I don't think it hurts to have his endorsement.
