Republicans in Texas are attacking their own. Sam Walls, a 64 year old favored to win a run-off election for Texas House District 58, is being asked by some of his fellow Republicans to withdraw from the race after photos of Walls cross-dressing found their way into the race.
Although his opponent, Rob Orr, has denied any involvement in bringing the photos to light, Mr. Orr has to believe the constituents he wishes to represent are unreasonably stupid. The results of March's primary says it all:
State House - District 58 - 52 of 52 precincts reporting
Sam Walls - 3,516 41.6%
Rob Orr - 2,773 32.8%
Scott Cain - 2,157 25.5%
Despite calls from the Johnson County Republican Party, Sheriff Bob Alford and others, who have benefited from years of Walls significant community contributions, Walls stands resolute. Walls also has support from respected GOP party leaders. The run-off elections are April 13.
