U.S. House,
Texas District 17
|
April 28, 2006 National
Republicans got the candidate they wanted when Iraq war veteran
Van Taylor narrowly won the March primary. Rep. Chet Edwards (D)
is a tough incumbent, however, as he showed in his most recent
FEC report -- $1.1 million on hand at the end of March. Taylor
closed the period with $198,000 on hand but can write a personal
check to his campaign, which he must do to stay competitive with
Edwards. This district is strongly Republican, but Edwards
managed to eke out a win in 2004 even as President Bush was
carrying the district with 70 percent of the vote. With Bush
significantly less popular (even in Texas) this is a tough race
for Taylor.
