Sen. Kim Brimer (R-Fort Worth) has announced that he has received the endorsement of all of the district’s mayors. The most noteworthy addition to this list is Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief, a former Democratic member of the Texas Senate. Brimer’s opponent, Wendy Davis, was a Fort Worth City Council Member before she resigned to run for the Texas Senate. "Kim Brimer gets things done," said Moncrief. "No city problem is too small nor too large, he tackles them all and gets results." The Texas Democratic Party, meanwhile, fired a broadside at Moncrief, who served many years in the Texas Senate as a Democrat. “Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief’s endorsement of scandal-plagued Kim Brimer is nothing short of ironic given that Moncrief allowed Brimer and his Republican cronies to push him out of his own Senate seat 6 years ago," said party spokesman Hector Nieto. "If Mike Moncrief truly cared about the people of Senate District 10, he would have run for re-election. Instead, he chose to be bullied by Republican politicians and is once again bending at their will."
