More voters in Texas’ District 21 chose Mary Wilson who has always actively served people than any of the slicker, better financed candidates for Congress.
How shocking! The majority of the votes in the primary went not to the candidates with the most money or slickest campaign, but to Mary S. Wilson, a woman known in the community for serving people!
In a 4 way contested primary she received 30.90% of the vote. She faces Joseph Kosper (20.3%) in a May 22nd Run-off for the Democratic Nomination for the open U.S. 21st District's Congressional seat being vacated by Lamar Smith. This district includes part of Austin and San Antonio and many small towns in between.
Why do folks like Mary Wilson?
She is a true progressive.
There is nothing Republican-lite about her. She has always worked for social justice. She has always lend a hand when folks needed one it whatever way she was able. She has always said people not having health care in a society such as ours is stupid and unacceptable. She has always extended a welcoming hand to people without classifying them superior or inferior according to immigration status, race, or the size of their bank accounts.
People in the District know what she stands for because they have seen her live it for years.
She is trusted to serve people in Washington because she always serves people here at home..

I like her because she is the absolute opposite of the man who currently occupies that seat. Give what you can.
She knows how to stretch resources. Investing in her campaign is a demonstration that we believe that decency and kindness has value, that society can work for everybody, that pushing others down to make a buck is not the ideals we choose to live by.
Never heard of her? Neither had the Texas Observer.
