Texas Monthly on Mike Krusee Election

Krusee’s reaction to his election numbers
(according to inside source)


State Representative Mike Krusee, also the Chair of House Transportation, nearly lost his seat last week. Krusee, in an overwhelmingly Republican district, almost got the boot with only 5 points to spare, even after he outspent his unfunded Democratic opponent by over 8 times!

Texas Monthly’s Paul Burka made this statement about Krusee’s close call:
Mike Krusee got 50.1% of the vote. He is the author and biggest defender of the highway bill that authorized toll roads throughout Texas. His Round Rock district is in the heart of the Central Texas controversy over tolling. A well financed campaign that hammered him for his support of toll roads might have taken him out. And yet, Democrats completely ignored Karen Felthauser. She raised barely $15,000 for the entire campaign.”
Krusee’s bills made it legal for to sell our freeways and private land to his and Rick Perry contributors (toll and road lobby). We pay an eternity for tolls on roads we’ve already paid for, and his campaign reaps the rewards!
