FULL TITLE: Lupe Valdez becomes first openly gay and first Latina candidate to win a major party nomination for Texas
After a tight race throughout much of the evening Tuesday, Lupe Valdez pulled ahead late to comfortably defeat Andrew White in the Democratic runoff for governor, according to unofficial returns.
Valdez goes into the November general election as the first openly lesbian and first Latina candidate to win a major party gubernatorial nomination in Texas. She told cheering supporters in Dallas that she's not deterred by conventional wisdom that she faces long odds against Gov. Greg Abbott, a well-funded incumbent.
"Please tell me when I didn't have an uphill battle," she said.
Valdez, 70, also said she's tired of politicians not looking out for everyday people.

The Dems just seem to be the gift that keeps giving. They can’t seem to come up with any normal candidates, so they keep throwing the dice on ever-more nutty (or fruity, or both, as the case may be) candidates. Don’t stop...I mean it. Just keep doing what you’re doing!
DemocRAT Family Values on Full Display. They also support Boys in the Girls School Bathrooms (when they Feel Transgendered).
The Uncle Matt/ Lord Epping routine was classic!
Michael Berry, radio personality in Houston, this morning said he was really looking forward to this race. He said
“Valdez is nuttier than squirrel turds”. So I expect there are going to be a lotta laughs in the next few months.
As a backwoods old dude I lack the tech savvy so
maybe someone could post the video link of the Righteous
Brothers singing ‘Little Latin Lupe Lu’.
She hasn’t won the office yet. It’ll be very hard to beat Abbott unless the voting machines are fixed. He’s doing a great job.
Poor democrats. This is they best they have?
Remember Kinky Friedman? The Texas Jewboy.
He used to run for governor. “Kinky for Governor. Why the hell not?”
Ah....Kinky.

Obama is to economics as pantyhose are to foreplay
ROFLOL!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!
Enjoy your 15 minutes Lupe.
>>Name’s like actress Lupe Velez, the Mexican Spitfire.<<
The actress committed suicide. Quite famous in Mexico as well as here.
That said, I believe that we might be picking up seats. We got to keep on message that Trump is making his promises. As Nancy Reagan said, 'Just say no' I'd paraphrase it to, 'Just say NO to Dems and RINOs.'
