Here's a quick wrap-up of our winning endorsements:<br>-&gt; House District 14: State Rep. Fred Brown (who earned our \"Taxpayer Advocate\" award) easily won re-election.  <br>-&gt; House District 52: Republican Larry Gonzales won a strong run-off victory, and now faces incumbent Dianna Maldonado in November.  <br>-&gt; House District 66: Van Taylor won big over Mabrie Jackson... but it may not be over here. Because incumbent Brian McCall resigned his seat, there will be a special election on May 8.  <br>-&gt; House District 83: Charles Perry easily defeated incumbent Delwin Jones, perennially one of the worst Republicans in the Legislature.   <br>-&gt; House District 149: Conservative Jack O'Connor won his run-off, ready to face Democrat incumbent Hubert Vo in November. <\/p><\/blockquote><p>Texans for Fiscal Responsibility <a href=\"http:\/\/www.empowertexans.com\/\">EmpowerTexans.com<\/a><\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/9f9bc_7828681836623105417-5409538679960878928?l=libertarianrepublican.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LR FOLLOW-UPFrom Eric Dondero:Michael Q.
