tail between his legs
September 6, 2017
After a very public flirtation with another bid in Texas’ 23rd District, former Democratic Congressman Pete Gallego took himself out of the running yesterday – blowing a hole in Democrats’ hopes to retake the seat.
Gallego’s about-face is further proof of Will Hurd’s strength as a formidable candidate in Texas’ 23rd district.
As Gallego slinks away with his tail between his legs, the rest of the relatively anonymous Democratic field is left to fight among themselves while Hurd remains focused on his district.
