Two Dallas area Republican legislators drew opponents this week; one in the GOP primary, the other in the General Election. Seven term incumbent Tony Goolsby defeated his Democratic opponent Harriett Miller by only a six percentage points two years ago, so Miller has decided to give the race another shot. Given the relative closeness of the election at a time when President Bush was leading the ticket by nearly 20-points, the race would appear to offer a serious contest.

GO Rep. Mary Denny of Flower Mound will face a primary challenge from former Lewisville ISD President Anne Lakusta. Lakusta’s challenge is one of several GOP incumbents are facing within their own primaries from school board officials or former officials angry over the GOP’s handling of education funding reform.
