Rick Noriega with a group of University of Houston students
Rick Noriega has done an outstanding job in helping DREAM ACT students go to college. First, by helping establish in-state tuition, and in 2007 fighting to keep the law intact. Anyone associated with a DREAM ACT student should do their best to help Noriega in his quest for the U.S. Senate.
from the Houston Chronicle - July 12, 2007
State Rep. Rick Noriega, 49, of Houston plans to hold a news conference Monday on the south lawn of the Texas Capitol to announce the formation of his exploratory committee for the Democratic nomination.
Noriega political consultant James Aldrete said it is unfortunate that Cornyn would attack Watts as a trial lawyer. Aldrete said pounding on trial lawyers has been a favorite tactic of Republicans for a long time.
"While we respect what trial lawyers do, there's a fear among many that he (Watts) becomes an easy target of Cornyn," Aldrete said. "He's going to be a fundraising tool not only for Cornyn but for national Republicans as well."
Cornyn's trip with Rove might seem surprising because the senator recently began distancing himself from the president on the issue of immigration. But from his 2002 election until recently, Cornyn has been a staunch Bush supporter.
Rove helped Cornyn win election to the Texas Supreme Court in 1996, recruited Cornyn to run for state attorney general in 1998 and again to run for the U.S. Senate in 2002.
