In a new campaign ad, state Rep. Mark Shelton, R-Fort Worth, accuses his SD-10 opponent, incumbent Democrat Wendy Davis, of violating ethics rules and hiding details about her public sector legal clients.

Trying to understand why the Texas Tribune would run a political attack ad in full, without other comment or adding any journalistic input to the shameful campaign being run by Mark Shelton? If there is some point to running the attack ad, please make it. Otherwise, the commercials by Wendy Davis should appear as well.
Lets face it, Mark Shelton having never done anything in politics has already revealed that he is beholden to the big money lobbyist and just another in the long list of Texas politicians taking their directives from the insurance industry and related specialty interest groups. The man supports heavy polluters in N. Texas, yet he is fully away of the huge increase in child asthma cases in this area and that they are caused by pollution. Complete disconnect between obligations to a patient and what he will do if elected.

Republicans need to clean their own closets before they start accusing anyone of anything.
They have bled our public schools dry and now they are lying to the citizens of Texas.
Republicans have dollar signs on their eyeballs..... their greed and their eternal lies are not good for the citizens of this state.
