Correction: Morales Ran Vs. Ciro & Cuellar
December 18th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Darn it. I got my Henrys confused. My apologies. Victor Morales actually ran against Ciro Rodriguez and Henry Cuellar (now both Dems serving in D.C.) in the 2006 Democratic primary for the remodeled CD 28 — not in the November 2006 special election against Ciro (the current Rep. from CD 23) and Henry Bonilla (the former Republican Rep. from CD 23).
Here are the results from the Texas Secretary of State:
March 2006
U. S. Representative District 28
Henry Cuellar (I) DEM 24,256 53.09%
Victor Morales DEM 2,943 6.44%
Ciro D. Rodriguez DEM 18,484 40.46%

November 2006

Ciro won that one in the December runoff. Once again, sorry for the foul-up.
