Anderson Draws Two Challengers in HD-56 Race
Chris DeCluitt remembers taking his dog to Charles "Doc" Anderson when he was a teenager growing up in Waco.
DeCluitt still likes the vet, but doesn't think Anderson should be elected to a fifth term in the Texas House. He and Raymond Hixson of China Spring are both trying to knock Anderson off in the Republican primary.
It's an uphill battle.
Anderson came in third in a boisterous Republican primary in 2002 — a contest that left winner Holt Getterman so beat up that Democrat John Mabry won the general election. Anderson won the primary in 2004, defeated Mabry ...

Chris DeCluitt's attitude towards anyone outside the Waco Click is why he couldn't hold an SREC seat. How can a "conservative" that believes in "limited government" think that we need MORE legislation (regulation)? Chris DeCluitt's comments that we needed Sibley in the Senate race because he was experienced are in conflict of his "new blood" attitude today.

And as the saying goes in McLennan County - Thinking about voting for DeCluitt... don't do it!

I like and respect Doc. But, I've decided to vote for Chris.

Decluitt is a good ole boy backed by the old people that wanted to save our seat. Remember Sibley? He ran his son against Doc and got hammered. Averitt was deathly sick and Sibley was going to just step in. Well tht blew up in there face. Doc stood up for Mclennan County when Averitt took tons of money to ok the coal plants despite everyone including his base the city of Waco said no. Doc is the man not Decluitt

Vote "Doc" is all you need to know! He is not what the good old boy club wants nor the establishment because he is an independent thinker!! You bet Elmo he stood up for the people of the part of McLennan County that old Sibley and Averitt overlooked! Decluitt and Hixson give me a break!! go vote for "Doc" Anderson" you will be glad you did!!

Wanted to also point out all of the past district staff (myself-Kurt Krakowian, Nancy Bradley and Jack Smith) are all supporting Chris DeCluitt.We all left in good standing but it's time for a change No one knows Doc Anderson better when us past staffers. Doc Anderson is not an honest man and has no respect for women or our Texas flag. There are two Doc Anderson's..One he wants the people to see and the one we all saw. Doc Anderson used his district office & state supplies for campaign use, pocketed my state fuel reimbursement and did not report it as income. Doc Anderson is also a puppet for the speaker. He will listen to the speaker before the people in his district. These are just a few things why we have come out not to support Doc Anderson
