Hrbacek picks up key endorsement

Houston businessman and political activist Tim Turner has endorsed CD22 Candidate Dean Hrbacek. Turner finished second to Shelley Sekula-Gibbs in the 2006 vote when CD-22 precinct chairs gathered to put their support behind a Republican write-in candidate to fill Tom DeLay's seat.

Back then, Turner threw his support to Sekula Gibbs. In making his endorsement, Turner said:

A liberal Democrat, Nick Lampson, rode the Democratic tide in 2006 to steal a Republican Congressional seat. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are hoping that Lampson draws a weak Republican in the General Election so he can continue to hold this seat. For this reason, we cannot afford to nominate just anyone to this district. We need a rock-solid conservative, a longtime resident and someone with a record of cutting taxes and creating jobs and opportunity.

That's why I am supporting Dean Hrbacek for the Republican
nomination. As a Mayor of Sugar Land he oversaw one of the most fiscally responsible cities in America. As a businessman and tax attorney he fights the IRS on behalf of taxpayers and small businesses. And as a husband and a father he's raised three children and knows we need to create a more positive,
principled culture for our young people.
