Plus he publicly broke with George W. Bush, published an op-ed in the NYT about it, over the Iraq War.
Before he took up with Bush, he worked for Dems. Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock was one.
Since breaking with Bush, he became an independent, did not work for any other Republicans. He has been very outspoken about Trump from very early in that admin. He's someone who loves democracy, and like Steve Schmidt has fully embraced Dems as the only party fighting for democracy. He's someone who believes in putting the country first. I'd assumed he'd never be a candidate, but he's willing to put himself out to get rid of the vicious Dan Patrick. He's running for the right reasons. The only other candidate has lost two previous races. Nice guy but not likely to have a chance. Dowd does.
I live in the same town, go to church with him when he's in town. Used to volunteer for the same nonprofit. I don't always agree with him, but he's a hundred percent right on every observation he ever made about TFG. Strong stuff. Whenever someone asks who to follow on Twitter, he always comes to mind. @matthewjdowd
