LR FOLLOW-UP

From Eric Dondero:

Michael Q. Sullivan, our friend from Empower Texans, and a former co-worker of mine in the congressional office of Rep. Ron Paul, brings us some good news. A candidate we have been highlighting here at LR, a solid Rick Perry style "libertarian-conservative" (as he was described by the local media in Lubbock), has won his primary run-off election.

From Michael:

House District 84: In this open seat, John Frullo won a strong victory over Mark Griffin.

Given Lubbock's overwhelming Republican orientation, Frullo is virtually assured of being the next State Rep. for the area.

Frullo is a small businessman fiercely opposed to ObamaCare, and to federal mandates on the states.

MQS also reports:

In fact, six of the seven candidates we (Empower Texas) endorsed won last night! Here's a quick wrap-up of our winning endorsements:
-> House District 14: State Rep. Fred Brown (who earned our "Taxpayer Advocate" award) easily won re-election.
-> House District 52: Republican Larry Gonzales won a strong run-off victory, and now faces incumbent Dianna Maldonado in November.
-> House District 66: Van Taylor won big over Mabrie Jackson... but it may not be over here. Because incumbent Brian McCall resigned his seat, there will be a special election on May 8.
-> House District 83: Charles Perry easily defeated incumbent Delwin Jones, perennially one of the worst Republicans in the Legislature.
-> House District 149: Conservative Jack O'Connor won his run-off, ready to face Democrat incumbent Hubert Vo in November.
