Congressional candidate Neal Marchbanks: District 19 ready for change (no mo' Neugebauer)

[TexasTowelie]

A retired meteorologist who once bowled a perfect 300 wants to be your next congressman.

Neal Marchbanks is currently unopposed in this spring’s Democratic primary for the District 19 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

And when critics point out the routine ballot success of Republican incumbent Randy Neugebauer, Marchbanks responds that’s partly because the congressman has lacked a viable opponent in past elections. In fact, District 19 could be more blue than some assume, the long-time Lubbockite added.

“I think Mr. Neugebauer’s popularity is beginning to wane, and I have a very good chance of beating him,” he said. “I don’t believe Lubbock is heavily Republican — it’s pretty well split.”

1. The Park Ranger Incident

I watched the incident and came away with the opinion it's time for him to go. REGISTER with Act Blue, in order to facilitate orderly donations. That Dip should have been "Thanking" her for her service. The closure of the WWII Memorial was an unintended consequence of the GOP Collective mind set. Everyone of the elected officials that showed up for the photo op needs to be defeated. The Honor Flight folks are to be commended. Did the RNC donation actually keep the Memorial Open for a few more days?

I was much more impressed with the Fischer House folks. In a different time my Dad would have fallen in the active duty non combat category and my mom and her boys would have needed the assistance. Talk about unintended consequences.
