I hadn't been paying much attention to this race because a) I was already supporting David Holmes and b) I was supposed to maybe, possibly work for (you can't really know whether or not you'd be on a campaign 3 years after you were initially told, "yeah, I'm gonna run and I want to talk to you about the campaign", but I digress) David and then Big Mamma had to morph into the Prima Momma so that gives me a sad.

however, here's some fun shenanigans Daugherty has been up to:

told residents of a neighborhood that was flooded that he didn't know they existed and were not a priority. https://www.facebook.com/je...

sad he was "proud to support DJT" before going on MSNBC this morning and saying he'd tell us after the election whether or not he'd voted for DJT. https://www.facebook.com/Ho...

claimed the Austin American-Statesman had endorsed him when they'd clearly said in May that they were not issuing endorsements anymore. http://www.politifact.com/t... (though, to be fair, they had before the primary and he's not the only person who's carried this one over.)

only commissioner to vote against increasing the homestead exemption for seniors: https://www.facebook.com/Ho...

and said he didn't really care if indigent defense attorneys were not paid well enough to provide a fair defense: https://youtu.be/_7tftUnn7Gw

also too, as mentioned, the SH45 extension would be crap. it wouldn't provide more traffic capacity over all and it would pollute Barton Springs (which he thinks is cool, but not cool enough to protect even though the Endangered Species Act requires it because: salamander that only lives at the springs) and the Edwards Aquifer (where we get all our drinking water).

here's his opponent's website: http://votedavidholmes.com/

I will have you know that at David's house warming a few years ago, he turned the garishly purple master bedroom into a photo booth before he got down to work undoing all the weird shit the previous owners did.
