You Gotta Love Texas Politics
This headline from the Houston Chronicle caught my eye this morning:
Wife files to run against husband for State House seat
PHARR — The wife of a state representative filed Monday to run against her husband in a South Texas race that both candidates said coincides with an impending divorce.
Democratic state Rep. Armando “Mando” Martinez, an incumbent from Weslaco, faces a primary challenge from his wife, Jessica Reyes-Martinez. The District 39 seat covers part of Hidalgo County.
The two live in separate houses in Weslaco, and did not speak with one another after making short speeches at the Hidalgo County Democratic Party kick-off on Monday night.
What could be better? Now we’ll get to see everyone’s dirty laundry as it gets dragged out during the primary race.
It’s just a shame that there’s no Republican running to capitalize on all of the mudslinging that’s sure to go on.
