Race heats up in 33rd Congressional District
DALLAS — The previously quiet Democratic primary race in the 33rd Congressional District flared up Friday as the candidates tossed around labels such as “mediocre” and “Republican” to describe their opponents.
Freshman Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth is seeking a second term. His challenger, political newcomer Tom Sanchez, says he’s the person voters should send to Washington, D.C.
As the two squared off Friday in back-to-back interviews that will air at 9:05 a.m. Sunday on WFAA/Channel 8’s Inside Texas Politics, the gloves came off.
Veasey said his challenger is a Republican in disguise. Sanchez said Veasey is a “mediocre” politician who hasn’t done enough for his community.

[font color=green]So "Republican" is derogatory and denigrating. 
Federal campaign finance records show that Sanchez sent $500 to Perry’s presidential campaign in 2011 and more than $1,000 to Gingrich’s in 2012. There are no Republicans running for District 33 so the winner of the Democratic primary will be a shoo-in for the general election.[/font]
