Looking over the list of Republican candidates who had filed for the Senate race, I was surprised to see the name of former Court of Criminal Appeals judge Charles Holcomb of Wimberley, who was age-limited out of the office. Despite searching, I was unable to find any campaign website for Judge Holcomb.
So I called him up.
Judge Holcomb was gracious enough to talk a few minutes about why he was running:
He considers himself an “Eisenhower Republican.”
He talked over running with some friends and decided “why not?”
He has neither a campaign staff nor a website, and said he just filed the required paperwork with the FEC.
He’s running to “give people a choice.”
He realizes he has a steep uphill fight “against two millionaires.”
He promises to serve only a single term.
He supports the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan.
He believes that there is too much money in politics.
BattleSwarm Blog thanks Judge Holcomb for his time.
