Literal Ambulance Chaser Wins House Seat from Jail

Post by _Water Dog »

Too funny to not share.

A re-election celebration is underway in Pod 2 of the Montgomery County Jail after inmate number 232573 claimed victory in Texas House District 27. That inmate is known as Rep. Ron Reynolds, D-Missouri City, to the people on the outside.

Reynolds was unopposed in the race for District 27 and the latest vote totals show Reynolds garnered 47,305 votes in Tuesday's election.

Reynolds was booked into the county jail on Sept. 7. He's serving a year-long sentence after a 2015 conviction on five misdemeanor counts of using a middleman to chase ambulances in order to solicit clients for Reynolds’ law firm.

A pimp won Tuesday's election as the Republican candidate despite having died in October. County officials will replace him with another Republican who is hopefully still living. Apparently, he was a successful businessman since he owned a chain of brothels.

As the R’s couldn’t even run a candidate to beat an active jail inmate (OP), maybe we can have a mock runoff between these two to see who’s more popular - a dead pimp or a jailed lawyer.

And some 56,000 voters went with a Neo-Nazi Holocaust denier... it is almost like voting party line is a thing or something.
