Democrats Slam One of Their Own In Texas Primary

February 23, 2018 · 7:21 am ET · Leave a Comment

The DCCC posted negative research on Laura Moser (D), a Houston journalist vying among six other Democrats in the March 6 primary to unseat Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), the Texas Tribune reports.

“Democrats locally and nationally have worried that Moser is too liberal to carry a race that has emerged in recent months as one of the most competitive races in the country. The DCCC posting, which features the kind of research that is often reserved for Republicans, notes that Moser only recently moved back to her hometown of Houston and that much of her campaign fundraising money has gone to her husband’s political consulting firm. It also calls her a ‘Washington insider.’
