Next year’s political season will be power-packed with candidates running for a multiplicity of positions at all levels of government. One of those races will be for the Texas House of Representatives in District 65. The one-term incumbent, Michelle Beckley, a Democrat, will be on the ballot for her first reelection effort. As of this writing, there are 2 Republican challengers; Kronda Thimesch and Nancy Cline. The GOP and Democrat primary elections will be on March 3, 2020. I invited Ms. Cline to come over for a video interview to tell our viewers about her background and why she’s running for this office. www.votenancy.com The following info comes from a bio sent to me by the candidate:
