Juanita Jean-Most Excellent News-someone good is running against Gohmert

Juanita Jean is at the state party headquarters having fun and watching people sign up to run. Here is some good news https://juanitajean.com/most-excellent-news/

We finally have an excellent Democrat to run against Louie Gohmert.

Hank Gilbert, a guy made of East Texas timber, has decided that we’ve had all we can take from Louie Gohmert. Hank is a family rancher, a former school teacher, and runs a large and very successful nonprofit in partnership with his two sons, has filed for Texas CD1. He will win the primary and dance on Louie Gohmert’s head.

He’s one of the nicest and smartest guys I know. He’s genuine. He leads with a calm but firm resolve. I believe in Hank Gilbert. Send a couple of dollars to Hank if you can just to let him know you’re plenty proud of his decision to run.

He is a really good guy. He is kind of a Jon Tester kind of guy. I wish more rural Texans had his views. He was a high school ag teacher for 13 years. Hope he can give crazy Gohmert a run for his money.

Hopefully he'll do well but R's outnumber us in that district by 25 points. He has his work cut out for him.
