If I had been elected to HD61, I would have initiated impeachment proceedings on Beckwith for championing this. Just sayin'.

We don't send people to Austin to protect their own power. We send them to work for the people of Texas, not billionaires, not special interests, not corporations.
That's why this race matters. That's why every race like it matters.
Texas can do better. And we will.

First bump: the DougCo Commissioners slated to speak can’t make it, so first up is Scott Shamblin, running for HD61. You might remember Shamblin from his “satire” efforts:

A new website encourages transgender Coloradans to report discrimination. A conservative activist says he started it as satire.
The site was created by Scott Shamblin, the executive director of Colorado Right to Life and opponent of HB-1312 who testified against the bill during its journey through the legislature.

Jackie “Jackie B” Bescherer launches HD-61 campaign with focus on schools, affordability, and political reform
By R.J. Morales | TX3DNews.com MCKINNEY — Jackie Bescherer, who campaigns as “Jackie B,” is a longtime Collin County resident and Democratic candidate for Texas House District 61 running on a message she says is simple: Texas is shortchanging public schools, pricing out working families, and letting big money shape too many decisions in Austin. Jackie B, who has lived in HD-61 since 2000 and raised two sons in McKinney ISD, told TX3DNews her career has included service in the Navy Reserve, a decade with the Dallas Police Department, and more than two decades in telecom engineering.
