Unopposed
Barbara Ann is unopposed in the primary.  Now there's no distraction from revealing that the Attorney General is protecting and promoting himself, pursuing his own political agenda instead of doing his job and protecting Texas. Thank you to everyone who aided in this strategic effort.

We raised more than $60,000 in the last 10 days of the reporting period.  Thank you to the generous supporters who helped us surpass our goal of raising $50,000 in 10 days.

Debate Challenge
Our first challenge to our Republican opponent's ill-considered threats to congressional leaders concerning horse-trading on a bill not yet out of conference committee met with a concession that Mr. Abbott's due process and vague constitutional claims were not his to make. In a challenge to debate, BAR also pointed to the Attorney General's mistaken claims as to the meanings of Supreme Court precedent and his abandonment of claims.

Contradictory AG Claims
The Attorney General's claims of litigation successes were each contradicted by one of his former employees who also aspires to his office, and predicted the Attorney General would be moving on to a different office.

The media covered each of these controversies, as well as BAR's challenge to her opponent to a debate.

Here is some of the coverage:

    * Dallas Morning News
    * Huffington Post
    * Legal News Line

    * Texas Public Radio (Show #489 features Mr. Abbott in segment 1 and BAR in segment 2)
