The Texas Legend is an award bestowed on an individual, company or organization in Texas whose vision, leadership and influence have had an enduring effect on the technology industry.
A new poll conducted for the Houston Chronicle shows that Rep. Tom DeLay is running well behind his Democratic challenger, former Congressman Nick Lampson. Lampson has 30% support of voters polled while Delay has only 22%. Former Republican Congressman Steve Stockman, who is running as an Independent, has 11% of the vote. Stockman's entry into the race clearly has hurt DeLay. Ironically, Stockman was defeated by Nick Lampson in 1996 in his first bid for re-election after defeating Congressman Jack Brooks in the Republican landslide of 1994.
