Ok so we have all seen the insanity of the national
political scene billowing out of newspapers and radio/TV stations. In Texas, I’ve
been covering the more local variety, often just as crazy, political elections.
The
race for Texas House Seat 54 has just been nutty. The mailers the two republican candidates,
Scott Cosper and Austin Ruiz, sent out following the primary in March and
during the runoff were simply beyond any measure of normal mudslinging in this
photog’s humble opinion. One
event included “an open letter” to Ruiz, wherein Cosper implied that the eye
doctor hired a private investigator to comb through the medical records of one
of his children. Ruiz went with a modern style and took to social media to attack on
Cosper.
