In West Texas we didn’t feel much of Hurricane Ike but many of our fellow Texans in the Houston area are still without power today.
Despite the damage the storm caused, one of the Houston areas State Representatives decided it was more important to campaign than to help his constituents.
That representative is Rick Noriega who is challenging incumbent Republican John Cornyn for the U.S. Senate.
On the campaign trail Mr.Noriega has often mention his “instrumental role in assisting Houstonians during Hurricane Katrina” but if his role then was anything as it was now, we can surely say that he is exaggerating.
While even Barack Obama got a heart and cancelled his SNL appearance on such late notice, Noriega kept his campaign events as the storm was hitting his home.
Careless.
