Houston Republican Lacey Hull won the District 138 Texas House race by 2,000 votes out of 65,000.

When voters in District 138 went to the polls, what they did not know is that on the morning of November 3rd, Lacey’s husband filed for divorce, citing “Respondent has committed adultery” as one of the causes of the divorce.  Texas has no-fault divorce so it was unnecessary to list the cause.  But, there it is.

Lacey was endorsed by the Katy Christian Magazine and the president of the Eagle Forum.

The alleged partner in this broken vows is Cole Hefner, an East Texas state representative with seven children and a proud member of the South Jefferson Baptist Church.

Apparently it was known but kept quiet among some Republicans that this was coming.  A few of her endorsers had their names removed from her endorsement list.  Others didn’t know or didn’t care.

My friends over at Living Blue Texas have the whole story and all the paperwork.  Job well done, guys.

To be honest, I am fed to my head with holier-than-thou stories coming from Republicans so when one shows their true colors and then hides it from voters to boot, I’m ready to call names.
