"Nevvvver therrrre ..."
We all know that Rep. Dawnna Dukes (D-Austin) of House District 46 was notoriously absent from the floor during previous Legislative sessions. And now we read that her underlings ran errands -- yes, even babysat -- for her honor Mrs. Dukes. Perhaps even on the state's nickel.

... And you'll notice that something else is missing. Not mentioned is a central figure in the public outrage regarding Rep. Dukes' record, and the antidote to this entire conundrum if elected. The very mention of this person would be critical to any objective news reporting, but he was either overlooked or intentionally neglected.
Gabriel Nila is a Republican running against Dukes in HD 46. According to his Facebook Page, he is part of a growing "Latino Movement" in the Travis GOP, with hopes of unseating the absentee representative in November as the sole conservative contender. You can learn more about Nila here.

Editor's note: My apologies for the '90s alt-rock flashback above. It runs through my mind each time I see Dukes under the pink dome (which is rare).
All good. We all know Gabriel will be on the floor he will pay attention and he will solve problems. We will all be better off with Gabriel at the District 46 desk.
