Freshman Texas State Rep. Notorious for Bizarre Personal Behavior PDF Print E-mail

Borris Miles.jpgDemocratic freshman State Representative Borris Miles is a flamboyant insurance agent turned politician, whose heavily black district is located in Houston. His supporters praise him for being a fresh thinking representative of his inner-city district. He won a surprise 2006 run-off victory over 27-year incumbent Al Edwards. But, Miles’ critics are concerned about a series of incidents involving the lawmaker that range from awkward to frightening.

The Houston Chronicle reports that “the episodes culminated in December when Miles crashed a party at the posh St. Regis Hotel. Party host David Harris said a drunken Miles shocked guests with loud, profane language before planting a Godfather-style ‘kiss of death’ on his cheeks, handing him a pistol and declaring, ‘you don’t know what I’m capable of doing.’”

Miles then introduced himself to guests at the party as a self-proclaimed “gangsta” and allegedly kissed a woman, Krysynthia Rido, on the lips while her husband was away from the table.

Miles and Edwards are campaigning against each other again in the Democratic primary for the state legislative seat, and the election will be held next month.
