This is the same Beverly Kaufman who is on record as being against the pre-clearance portion of the Voting Rights Act. Pre-clearance is in place for nine Southern states that have a history of discrimination or suppressing minority voting, including Texas. Here's what she had to say:
One of Blakemore’s clients is Republican Beverly Kaufman. She’s the clerk in Harris County—the largest county in Texas. “This particular aspect [of the Voting Rights Act] isn’t necessary any longer,” she says. “It’s just a self-defeating bureaucratic exercise.”
Huh. I wonder how minority organizations in Texas would respond to that. Actually, I have a pretty good idea how LULAC would respond to that.
Geez, I'm just throwing up my hands. I almost don't even know what to say. Yes, it's a non-partisan race. But, Beverly Kaufman? Democrats, help me out here.
And, yes, she's Blakemore's client. Blakemore is the one responsible for the Redmond attack mailer. His clients include Ken Legler (HD144), Jim Murphy (HD133) and John Davis (HD129). In the John Davis-Sherrie Matula race last year, Blakemore was responsible for the attack piece sent out by Davis' wife.
Hat tip to Charles Kuffner for linking to all of Locke's robo dials. What am I missing? How does having Beverly Kaufman on your team not drive away Democrats, especially minorities?

Is she for the Hispanic museum?
My guess would be no.
