Our choice for state representative and numerous other statewide positions

The Lufkin Daily News
For state representative for District 12 we are endorsing incumbent Jim McReynolds, D-Lufkin over his challenger, Van Brookshire of Coldspring. McReynolds has done a good job in his six terms in the Legislature and obviously puts his heart and soul into making things better for the people of Lufkin, Angelina County and the other areas he represents.
He said he has been pulling his hair over the mess the state has made of the Texas Youth Commission, and he hopes to help Texas develop more flagship universities. He said he has served long enough that he can get grants for our region, which also is quite important.
McReynolds has multiple years of experience, a great love of Texas and an incredible knowledge of how government works. We feel keeping him in office will benefit our corner of East Texas, Lufkin especially.
