Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Noriega visits Waco today
Rick Noriega, the Texas Democratic Party nominee running to oust U.S. John Cornyn, will visit Waco today to get out his message as he continues to work to raise his name ID.
Noriega, a five-term state representative from Houston, won 29 percent of the vote in McLennan County during the March 4 primary, but lost to perennial candidate Gene Kelly, whose name many voters confuse with the late legendary dancer from musicals of yesteryear. Kelly, who did virtually no campaigning, won 40 percent of the vote in McLennan County, showing that Noriega suffers from name ID problems in the Waco area.
Here are the particulars on Noriega’s visit today:
WHAT: Noriega, a lieutenant colonel in the Texas National Guard, will speak at the Texas Democratic Women of Central Texas’ meeting, “bringing his positive vision for solving the nation’s most pressing problems to Waco.”
WHEN: March 11, 2008 at 6 p.m.
WHERE: McLennan County Democratic Headquarters, 3400 Bosque Blvd.
