| Description | By Eric Kleefeld | bio
The most endangered Democrat in Congress may soon be facing a Republican challenger. Representative Nick Lampson picked up a seat for the Democrats last year in Tom DeLay's hardcore Republican district — with Lampson winning against a write-in candidate in a bizarre race marked by legal wrangling and DeLay's resignation. So suffice it to say that his Texas seat is anything but safe.
Now he may be challenged by a potentially formidable candidate: Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace, who just announced that he won't seek reelection as Mayor. According to Roll Call, Wallace will announce his plans for the race in the next 60 days. Says Wallace: "I feel I could do a good job in representing the people of the 22nd district." Given the tenuousness of Lampson's hold on the seat, he perhaps should be worried.
Interesting footnote: Wallace is helping raise money for Rudy Giuliani's Presidential campaign — even though he describes himself as "hard right wing" on social issues. |
