RE-ELECT AL EDWARDS on TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2008 as
STATE REPRESENTATIVE
for DISTRICT 146
Al Edwards will return to Texas Capitol with over 27 years
of committed
experience, dignity, and integrity.
I am running for State Representative of District 146 again because I understand that redistricting will have a dramatic event on all of us. I know we need a strong Democrat to keep a Republican from controlling District 146. I want to help save and preserve TSU, Texas History more importantly Emancipation-JUNETEENTH and all of Texas culture. I am that unbiased individual who is willing to fight for the betterment of all citizens, especially for the improvement of our educational system. I have strived to reduce taxes and to protect every citizen form being abused by the eminent domain law. I am a strong supporter for the growth and development of the businesses in District 146.
