On a positive note, thanks Steve Showalter and Baytown Sun for: “Emmett has been very effective in the job, and he deserves reelection. He handled the Hurricane Harvey disaster with compassion and competence, and he has been instrumental in getting the area back on track.”

1.) Last night was a long night. Keeping the straight ticket option for 1 more election cycle turned out to be a disaster for all Republicans. With the long ballot, more than 75% of voters chose to vote straight ticket, and the Democrats outvoted Republicans by more than 100K.

2.) Making up that deficit was just not possible. I am proud of my campaign since I received significantly more votes than any other Republican, including those at the top of the ticket.

1.) The passing of President George HW Bush is a loss almost beyond words. Personally, I always considered him my model of public service. As a community, we viewed him and Barbara as treasures . . .

2.) . . . All of us should take time to reflect and realize that a great man has left the Earth, but it is a far better place because he served us. I miss him already.
