AP Wire | 01/09/2007 | Radio host turned senator loses first legislative fight

I’ve been trying to find out how my very Republican precinct voted in the District 23 run-off election between Bonilla and Rodriguez and came across an analysis of why Bonilla lost at the Right of Texas blog.

Did you know that Henry Bonilla is the underdog in the upcoming election? No, really! I got a campaign flyer in the mail today that says the following:
Being the “underdog” is a role I’ve embraced throughout my life…When I first ran for Congress, experts said I had no chance to win…Once again, we’re the “underdog” […]

The attack ads are out. I figured now would be a good time to put up the positions that each candidate has taken on important issues. Sadly, I can only give you Ciro Rodriguez’s positions because it seems Henry Bonilla has decided not to answer.
