HD108 gets rough for Democrats choosing between 2022 nominee Elizabeth Ginsberg and newcomer Yasmin Simon.
Ginsberg recently earned the endorsement of the Dallas Morning News and former Dallas ISD superintendent Michael Hinojosa.
A new ad from Simon hits Ginsberg for underperforming in the 2022 HD108 race after it was gerrymandered to help incumbent Morgan Meyer.
Several local Democratic precinct chairs commented on Simon’s own ad post they didn’t appreciate her “negativity.” There were also complaints she was misrepresenting Ginsberg’s performance.
Other Democrats have privately ask “who is Yasmin Simon?”
One precinct chair said she plopped out of the sky and “started donating to candidates and causes.” They continued, “has she ever got her hands dirty except going negative on Liz?”
The Dallas Morning News also asked about her donation history which included Republican U.S. Rep. Nathaniel Moran.
He previously served as Smith County Judge while Simon was working on an opioid lawsuit which netted her significant legal fees.
HD108 Gets Rough – Will It Get Worse?
Questions exist over how dirty the HD108 race will go. Numerous commentators believe Morgan Meyer is vulnerable this cycle.
Meyer will face whoever wins the Democratic primary if he gets through his own.
Barry Wernick filed for 108 also and appears to be allied with Allen West’s campaign for Dallas County Republican Chairman.
