I’ve mentioned the matter of Bell getting adequate funding for this race. Here’s one reason why that’s important:
In the special election to replace state Sen. Kyle Janek, former judge Joan Huffman leads other contenders in fundraising thanks mostly to a $500,000 bank loan she secured and a $100,000 contribution from West Texas music impresario Herbert Graham.
Bell starts out with a big lead in name ID, but Huffman has taken a big step towards closing that gap. I hope he’s got a lot of commitments lined up.
