Texas Democrats and clear-thinking Republicans are one vote closer to ending Tom Craddick's autocracy in Texas. Dan Barrett defeated Mark Shelton in yesterday's District 97 runoff with 52 percent of the vote.
I took that picture of Dan at the polling place at Lily B. Clayton Elementary on election day in November and had a chance to talk to him briefly. He's good people. He's worked hard and he deserves this victory.
Congratulations, Dan! I'm looking forward to calling you my State House Representative in Austin.
UPDATE: Check out this column from Bud Kennedy. It's an interesting analysis of the District 97 runoff.

A big Congratulations to Dan Barrett, a man who went out and won a district the "experts" said he couldn't win!
