Daughter of ‘Duck Dynasty’ figure running for Hurst, Texas council

[MagickMuffin]

Hurst City Council candidate Trasa Robertson Cobern isn’t shy about being part of the clan made famous by the reality show Duck Dynasty.

Her father, Si Robertson, is better known as Uncle Si on the A&E reality show, which highlights the Louisiana family’s highly successful Duck Commander hunting-products business (so successful that for the past few springs it’s been sponsor of a NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway).

Hurst City Council candidate Jeff Childers Cobern, 40, faces at least one opponent for the Place 4 seat: fellow political newcomer Jeff Childers. Longtime incumbent Anna Holzer, 88, said she is not seeking re-election. The candidate filing period ends at 5 p.m. Friday for the May 7 election.

1. Thanks!

Not sure how tough this race will be yet but interesting to see a thread already up.

Trasa and I are the only two in the race for Place 4.

2. If you are the candidate running against her

I met you at the Unity Ball held at the Masonic Lodge in Fort Worth. I had on the sparkly dress!

I definitely wish you the best this November.

Quack, quack, duck!
