Grier Raggio Becomes Official Nominee to take on Pete SessionsGrier Raggio Becomes Official Nominee to take on Pete Sessions
Dallas, TX -- Today, Grier Raggio officially became the Democratic nominee for Congress in the 32nd District in Texas. Raggio, who ran unopposed in the Democratic Primary, will now take on Mr. Washington Insider, Pete Sessions in November.
“I am excited about the race ahead. We are going to run a competitive campaign about ideas and how best to solve the important problems our country faces. I look forward to traveling the district, and listening to the families of the 32nd District over the next eight months,” said Grier Raggio.
The race for the 32nd district was named as one of the “Emerging Races” by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (the only race in TX). It has garnered national attention because of Raggio’s strong fundraising, the changing demographics of the district, Sessions’ ties to alleged ponzi schemer Allen Stanford and his cozy relationships with Washington lobbyists.
“I’m running for Congress because I want to work for the families of the 32nd district -- not the lobbyists or special interests. As a small business owner, I have firsthand experience with balancing a budget and making tough decisions. I am a pragmatic problem-solver, and in Congress, I will fight to restore fiscal discipline and common sense to our economic policies.” stated Raggio.
“The voters of the 32nd District want a change in their member of Congress and many Republicans showed that tonight by voting against Pete Sessions. Instead of working for the families of the 32nd District, he is traveling around the country raising money for the NRCC, ” said Michael Points, Raggio’s campaign manager. Points added, “The people of the 32nd district deserve a member of Congress who will work for them. Sessions won’t stand up to special interests and lobbyists because he’s raised over $3 million from Wall Street big shots and insurance companies[1].”
Grier Raggio will be a pragmatic, problem-solving Congressman. He will fight to restore fiscal discipline and work to enforce common sense regulations to stop Wall Street bankers from bringing our economy to the brink of a depression again.
