Brees wants no part of mom's campaign in Texas

[jobycom]

In commercials running on Austin stations, Mina Brees had been using a picture of her son in the uniform of his former team, the San Diego Chargers, to emphasize her ties to football.

"I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved," Drew Brees said Monday.

She said her connection to football is relevant to her campaign because her father, a successful high school coach, used sports to teach her a strong work ethic that she would bring to the judicial bench.

He called his relationship with his mother "nonexistent" after it crumbled six years ago when he refused to hire her as his agent. Mina Brees said her son's allegations were a mischaracterization and that she had no intention of becoming his agent.
