Mary Hegar is a veteran running for Congress against a Tea Party candidate in Texas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MJ_Hegar



Her book Shoot Like a Girl, is in development for a movie possibly starring Angelina Jolie. This is the best kind of publicity a politician can obtain using other people's money. :)

She is also featured in a Girls With Guns video on Youtube.



The incumbent John Carter is one of those who jumped on the birther bandwagon as co-sponsor of HR1503, a bill to require more documentation of presidential candidate's birth. He has contributed to more worthwhile bills though.

It certainly speaks to her personal character and tenacity, plus her ability to change a system with massive problems. That should be supported by those who say they want to change Washington.

Sadly a lot of them won't. Democrat and woman really are huge negatives to a lot of the 'drain the swamp' crowd. I wish she had a better chance.
 
Well, her military record won't hurt - there's a large military presence in the district, I read. But it's a heavily adjusted to Republican advantage district. I don't know the recent demographics of the area and Austin's been stretching out but it's a 60% GOP seat, on average. The incumbent's running for his 9th term!
