Anyone know anything about this guy? He's challenging Sheila Jackson Lee in the Dem primary in March. His basic premise is that SJL has had 24 years and for many in her district, not much has improved.  He seems relatively moderate with his issues. He's not a far left progressive trying to give everything away for free.

At first glance, you think Sheila is locked in and will never lose. But her district, 18th, is slightly more hispanic than black (41 to 39%) with a small amount of white and Asian mixed in.  A Dem is definitely going to win the General election, so the primary should decide the race.  However I wouldn't put it past SJL to run as an independent if she lost the Dem primary, potentially giving the race to the GOP.
