   You need to print a retraction, you have Senator Campbell address as Houston and she has never lived in Houston. I know you know better!

2. James,

   Her address listed on the Texas Secretary of State’s website is a Houston address. She apparently used it when filing (!)

   One Greenway Plaza, Suite 225 Houston, TX 77046

   Look it up at this link. Select Hays County from the pull-down menu:

3. To be fair, Campbell lists that as a Mailing address, and does not claim residency there. More than likely, she has contracted a firm to handle her TEC filings, and that is their address, not hers.

   A quick check notes a number of Republican candidates and committees using that same address, even down to the suite number.

4. Given that Campbell is so easily and convincingly labeled a carpetbagger — having “moved” to New Braunfels from Columbus a matter of weeks before filing to run in SD-25 in the 2012 election — it is pretty inexplicable for her or her consultants to compound the problem by using a Houston address.

   You are right, Griffin, that Campbell’s Houston address is the same one used by Texans for Dan Patrick and a number of lobbyists registered with the Texas Ethics Commission.

5. Look at all the incumbents running unopposed – 13 of 19 races are currently uncontested. Looks like voter turnout isn’t the only facet of American politics where more participation is needed.
