The Express-News endorses Sate Rep. District 117 David Leibowitz and State Rep. Disitict 124 Jose Menendez for the November election.

The recommendations read as follows:

In District 117 Democratic Rep. David McQuaid Leibowitz has proven to be an effective freshman legislator and deserves another term in office. He was named "Freshman of the Year," by an Austin based political newsletter and as a member of the House Land & Resource Management Committee, he has worked to protect the Edwards Aquifer.

Democratic State Rep. Jose Menendez in District 124 deserves re-election. Menendez serves on the House Apropriations Committee and has been instrumental in securing funds for Bexar County including the important South.

The fact that Menendez launded an appropriations seat under a Republican Speaker demonstrates his ability to work in a bi-partisan fashion.
