Add the admit was defeated in a Democrat turnout route where all Republicans were swept

out a few years ago and people called and said, who's Lana Hadalgo? Nobody knew who this

In fact, Democrats were reaching out to me and saying, what the hell have we done? Who is this

of interest. But that particular firm, I'm not aware of, I knew that he had done some

on-dork as an attorney in connection with a company out of Dallas, which again, it's legal. And
