Why The NRCC Is 0 for 10 in TX-17

“I’m used to being a target,” Edwards told The Associated Press. “This year there’s clearly an anti-Washington environment, and I share those frustrations. I’m sickened by the hyperpartisanship. But I’m working hard at the grass-roots level, letting my independent voting record speak for itself. That’s who I am, and that’s who I always will be.”

General Paul E. “Butch” Funk (U.S. Army, ret.): “Too often after the battle our veterans and their families are forgotten.  They need advocates like Chet Edwards to fight for them and ensure they get the care and respect they have earned.  Chet has been such a tireless advocate for veterans, not for fame or glory, but because he believes in a strong national defense and that we should honor our commitment to the men and women who have fought to defend our country.  He has fought to improve the quality of life for our veterans, improving health care and expanding educational opportunities.”

“Chet Edwards is a leader – the values that he holds, the character that he has, defines him. What we need today are some good leaders, men and women who don’t just talk about what we should be doing, but who get things done. Chet Edwards has done so much, made such an incredible difference in the lives of servicemen and woman, and I admire him. Chet is making a difference, he is an honest man, and for all of our nation’s veterans and military families, we need to keep Chet Edwards in Congress.”
