Porter Running Against Carter
RECEIVED Thu., April 15, 2004
Dear Editor,
In the article entitled "Which Austin Congressman?" [News, April 16] Mr. Mike Clark-Madison states that incumbent congressman John Carter is unopposed. This is not true. Jon Porter has filed and is running in that district as a Democrat for that seat. I realize that the district was drawn to elect a Republican, and that defeating an incumbent is difficult, but at least Mr. Porter's existence deserves to be acknowledged, don't you think?
