Ronnie Earle Makes Another Endorsement
Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle already made clear who he wants to see succeed him as DA -- Rosemary Lehmberg. Now, he's taking a role in the Democratic primary contest for CD-10, the seat currently held by US Rep Michael McCaul.
"It is unusual for me to make an endorsement in a race that is not solely about law enforcement," Earle said in a statement. "But crime trickles down, and the tone of corruption at the top is reflected in violence on the streets. In order to avoid the latter we have to clean up the former."
Earle cites Grant's civilian work in Iraq and Afghanistan as "boots-on-the-ground" experience in the "real work of democracy".
As proof that consulants can bring people together, both Lehmberg and Grant are clients of Austin-based Democratic strategist Kelly Fero.
