Mark Foley trickles down to the local

My current Republican state rep. (the lower of two state bodies,) is facing a strong challenge from an extremely qualified Dem candidate Ellen Cohen.

The reason I bring this up is the current rep., Martha Wong, is now running a campaign ad calling for mandatory life sentences for all child predators complete with a montage of barbed wire and prison walls.

In a giant media market like Houston, small races can only afford one ad, it's just interesting to me that the Foley scandal has reached all the way down to this obscure state race.
