“Rep. McDaniel has been recognized statewide for his leadership in the legislature and has broad support from his colleagues in the House and Senate.  DeLay has been sued for not paying his bills for his law office and risked criminal prosecution for not paying his taxes.  That’s the contrast the voters see, so Gunner has no choice but to make frivolous attacks on Dustin.  That’s all this is,” said Melissa Moody.
