In the Harris County Democratic Primary, voters in CD-22 elected Kesha Rogers to run against incumbent Pete Olson. Ms. Rogers is a ardent follower of convicted felon Lyndon LaRouche, who is either the world's most brilliant person or one of the fruitiest nutcakes in the pile, depending upon whom you ask.
I've met Kesha several times, at health care town halls last summer and at small group meetings around Harris County. She will not defeat Pete Olson in the fall but it will not be because she doesn't work hard or that she lacks passion for her beliefs.
I'm quite surprised that she was able to pull this off and impressed at the same time because the odds were surely against her. She's going to be the butt of a lot of jokes because of her belief in LaRouche principles, which are whacky as all get out, but I guarantee you that she will not flinch. Have to admire that.
