Republican Lyle Larson for Congressional District 23

Cong. Candidate for Dist. 23

Over the course of the last few weeks, the Lyle Larson for Congress Team has been actively campaigning across the district. We spent a week traveling through the western part of the district and received substantial turnouts at events held in Bracketville, Del Rio, Alpine, Fort Davis, Fort Stockton, and Marfa.

Last week, we hosted a very well-attended event in Hondo for more than one hundred motivated and excited Medina County voters. Back in San Antonio, we held a barbecue at the Larson Headquarters for our volunteers and neighborhood leaders to discuss how we will win this campaign.

On Sunday, August 24th, we met with thousands of voters in Castroville at the St. Louis Day Festival. We hope you'll take a moment to enjoy our photo gallery of the last few weeks of campaigning. Not only are people across the district getting on board to assist our campaign, but folks across the state and the nation are focused on helping us win this race. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, who won this district with over 20,000 votes in 2006, is working hard to raise money and support for the campaign.

As a result of our campaign's increasing momentum, our campaign is receiving national attention. We recently had the opportunity to be featured on the Congress Blog of The Hill, a Washington D.C. publication.

Please feel free to view the Blog here.Also, we'd like for you to take a look at a recent article written about our race in the Texas Observer, here. After discussing issues with voters district-wide, the consensus is that residents of the 23rd believe that the only way to change the way Washington is operating is to change the people they elect to represent them.

They continue to express their frustration with the fact that the incumbent congressman does not represent the mainstream of this district and has failed to address the issues affecting his constituents. We are committed to facing tough challenges and bringing forth solutions to our nation's issues.

After each campaign event, we gain more support and momentum. We are committed to winning this race and know that we will with your support. You can help the Campaign by forwarding this newsletter to your friends and by contributing...
