Form today's Hotline:
Ex-Rep. Nick Lampson (D-TX) "has decided to challenge" DeLay in '06 and filed papers with FEC 4/25. '04 Dem nominee Richard Morrison "removed himself from the race," also on 4/25, "citing family considerations in an e-mail to past supporters." Lampson "is clearly viewed as a strong contender" by nat'l Dems. DCCC spokesperson Sarah Feinberg called him a "fantastic candidate who is hitting the ground running." Lampson "will hold his first fundraiser" in DC on 4/28 (Cillizza, Roll Call, 4/26).
Apparently, Lampson used to represent 30% of DeLay's district. DeLay will be the favorite, but at least it will be a high-profile race.
