Candidate forum in Clear Lake

Want to see Richard Morrison take on Tom DeLay in person? Check out this upcoming candidate forum in Clear Lake.


The Clear Lake High School Debate Club will be hosting a Candidates Forum for the Congressional Race in District 22, with participation from all the candidates, Congressman Tom DeLay (R), Richard Morrison (D), Mike Fjetland (I), and Thomas Morrison (L).

The forum, which is open to the public, will provide an opportunity for voters to visit with each candidate, ask questions, and obtain literature from their campaigns. Topics important to Clear Lake region, such as the San Jacinto Rail, education funding, Bayport, and the NASA Space Program, will be discussed with an emphasis on questions submitted by the audience.

”Although the members of the Debate Club are not eligible to vote, we believe this Congressional race will be very important to our parents as well as to our future. That is why we are hosting this event", says Vikas Lonakadi, Treasurer of the Clear Lake Debate Club.

Tuesday, October 19th -- 7:00-8:30 pm

North Pointe Elementary, 3200 Almond Creek, Houston (Clear Lake), TX 77059

There will be a social time from 6:30-7:00 pm for voters to meet the candidates. Candidates will have tables with signs and campaign literature.


I heard about this last week via email from Mike Fjetland. He was told by the student who called him that "Mr. DeLay has said that he will attend or send a representative." I'd say the odds of the latter are greater than the odds of the former, but you never know. In any event, if you want to ask DeLay a question your own self, there's your chance to do so.

UPDATE: You lucky duckies in CD07 can see John Martinez debate John Culberson tonight:


John Martinez, Democratic candidate for District 7, will be on stage with incumbent, John Culberson, at the Candidates' Forum at Fondren Middle School, 6333 S. Braeswood, TONIGHT, Tues Oct 12 at 7 pm. It is not clear whether the Independent candidate, Paul Staton, will also be there.

Holy shit! My alma mater actually has the possibility of being used as a force for good for once in its miserable 31-year history (it also produced townhall.com columnist and unrepentant asswipe "Dr." Mike Adams).

Nice to see a debate where they actually include independents and third party candidates. Kudos to the Debate Club for recognizing that voters have other choices.
