Chris Turner: A Committed, Hard-Working Candidate

Born in Sherman and raised in Dallas, Chris went to Dallas’ Skyline High School and is a UT-Austin graduate with a degree in Government. Before launching his campaign, Chris Turner worked as District Director for Texas Congressman Chet Edwards (D-Waco). During his time with Congressman Edwards, Chris gained experience working across party lines to meet the needs of Texans from all walks of life.

Chris’ experience with the highly successful Congressman Edwards campaign will come in handy as he runs for office in HD 96. From his website:

Chris has also managed Edwards’ last four highly competitive and successful re-election campaigns, during which he was recognized for his leadership ability and organizational skills in the midst of challenging circumstances.

Turner is running against far-right Republican incumbent Bill Zedler. Zedler narrowly avoided a loss in 2006, only managing 52.5% of the vote. Over the last two years, HD 96 has become more and more Democratic, highlighted by Democrats turning out in the March primary at a rate almost 2.5 times higher than Republicans – a larger ratio than the statewide average.

TexBlog PAC’s endorsement comes with a $5,000 contribution, as well as continued outreach in the ever-growing online communities. Chris Turner is the second endorsement TexBlog PAC has made this cycle. In May, the group endorsed Round Rock Democrat Diana Maldonado.
