Jasmine Crockett Could Face Runoff Against Jane Hope Hamilton For US House 30th Congressional District Seat

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – On the day she announced she was running for the U.S. 30th Congressional District seat with represents Dallas, first-term Democratic State Representative Jasmine Crockett of Dallas received a key endorsement.

District 30 House of Representititties

The Four Candidates

Charles Lingerfelt (Republican)

Thom Prentice (Green)

Eddie Bernice Johnson (Democrat, incumbent*)

Jarrett Woods (Libertarian)

Only two candidates actually submitted responses to 411.org: Thom Prentice and Charles Lingerfelt. After going over their responses on 411, my general conclusions are that Lingerfelt is an anti-immigration warhawk and Prentice is slightly unhinged.

Johnson’s website offered very little in the way of legislative history for the candidate (-). Doing some research on Congress.org reveals that most of the bills that Johnson sponsored or co-sponsored relate to science funding, which she seems generally in favor of (+). Deciphering this was not easy and required significant mental effort, so I took a break from her and checked out Woods.

Woods’ website is the most straightforward, forthright, clearly presented of any candidate on the list. He clearly and specifically states objective he would like to achieve while in office (++). I disagree with basically all of his policy suggestions but I give him an A+ and a gold star for clarity and presentation.

My vote goes to Johnson for experience, science funding, and not being crazy.

*Things I learned this election: Incumbent means someone already holds the position they’re running for

Last weekend, I couldn’t go home to see Andrew Bayer at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, because I wanted to stay in Davis for Picnic Day and watch my little brother perform for this annual dance competition at UC Davis (Davis Dance Revolution). He absolutely killed it by the way. I’m so proud of him! Anyway, I decided to see Andrew Bayer at District 30 in Sacramento instead, and oh my god... I had so much fun! Man, what an incredible set. It kept me dancing the entire time. Afterward, I had the opportunity to meet him! Don’t worry, I didn’t go full fanboy. I graciously thanked him, and he said, “No, thank you!” with the most genuine smile on his face. Topnotch DJ and producer, yet so humble and down to Earth. Andrew Bayer is the man! You know what else? I only paid $13.50 for the ticket too, which is about one-third of the price for a Ruby Skye ticket. Best $13.50 I have ever spent, hands down.

If you ever have the chance to see an artist that you like, and you’re hesitant about whether or not you should go, just go and don’t think twice about it. Have fun no matter what. Life is made of small moments like this. :)

Fact-checking the "Fact" Checker on Don Quinn

Fact-checking the “Fact” Checker on Don Quinn

I noted the details of Don Quinn’s marketing firm’s involvement in a website called FindLocalPot.com back on April 17. I stand by that reporting. Since my last report, changes have been made to the site to emphasize the medical marjuana aspect of things. These changes were made the same day of my previous report. Another change was made to the site to hide Indelible Ink’s role in the site.
