Diana Maldonado Challenges Toller Mike Krusee

Diana Maldonado (D-Round Rock) will challenge State Rep. Mike Krusee (R-Taylor) in House District 52. Maldonado has a bare bones temporary campaign website up today.

Maldonado has spent the past 13 years as head of the Tax Applications Section in the Texas Comptroller’s Office. I’ll bet she’s seen the Comptroller's in depth report that calls Krusee's scheme, "Double Taxation Without Accountability".

Maldonado has been elected president of the Round Rock ISD school board for 2006-2007. Maldonado was the first Hispanic woman to lead the board.

Krussee barely won his last general election to another Democrat with only 5 points to spare. It’s important to note that the Dem had only a couple thousand dollars compared to Krusee’s over $300k.

Diana could be a viable funded opponent - I’m checking into that. I’m also checking to see if she shares our hatred of Krusee's legislation and his schemes to shifting public highways to tollways.

I’ll have more for you soon!
