Oct 2012

State Reps. Marisa Marquez and Naomi Gonzalez, both Democrats, were featured in a mailed political advertisement supporting Republican state Rep. Dee Margo in his reelection campaign against Democrat Joe Moody.

-snip-

Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa called the support "an absolute aberration" that does not reflect Democratic backing for Moody.

"Everybody is just totally floored," Hinojosa said. "We don't understand where they're coming from and why they would do this. It is totally contrary to the interests of their constituents and it's also contrary to the importance of this election in terms of their ability to be able to get things done in Austin."

Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a group that lobbies for limits on lawsuits and settlements, funded the bulk of Gonzalez's campaign against former state Rep. Norma Chávez two years ago. The group also helped fund campaigns for Margo and Marquez.
