nel room with 40 kennels capable of housing any size dog.

Democrat Dan Kubiak admits
that he’s currently the dar
khorse in the 6th district con
gressional race against Phil
Gramm, but says he’s confident
that he’s quickly gaining
ground.
“There’s no question that I’m
behind at this time, but I’ll catch
up,” Kubiak said in an interview
Monday. “I’m concentrating on
my strengths and I feel that vo
ter turnout will be the number
one factor in this race. The
heavier the turnout, the better
my chances.”
Born in Falls County, Kubiak
has been a businessman, farmer
and rancher. He has served 14
years in the state Legislature and
has chaired the budget, agricul
ture and education committees.
State Democratic Party
Chairman Bob Slagle recently
announced that Kubiak would
receive official party support.
Kubiak is Phil Gramm’s
strongest opponent in the race
to fill the seat which Gramm res
igned in order to run as a Re
publican.
Kubiak, 44, recently left his
construction and real estate
business in Rockdale to launch a
campaign to “save” himself from
economic policies launched by
Gramm.
“His policies are killing me as
a businessman, farmer and ran
cher,” Kubiak said.
“Dr. Gramm is an extremist
who has alienated even the most
conservative members of the
majority party,” Kubiak said.
“If he goes back to Congress, the
sixth district will suffer at the
Ex-Den
jve accn
itful “<

Democratic candidate
hands of a man who is now well
known as an ambitious, self-
serving individual whom no
body can trust."
Kubiak took issue with
Gramm’s repeated slogan that
he has kept his word in
Washington.
“Dr. Gramm says he has kept
his word, but clearly he has not.
He promised to reduce the de
ficit and he promised to be an
effective voice for the sixth dis
trict.”
What took the country 200
years to develop, Gramm has
managed to change through
legislation in just four, Kubiak
said. At this rate, he will double
the deficit in four years, he said.
In addition to balancing the
budget, Kubiak has placed un
employment at the top of his
priority list.
The district is sheltered in
this area, Kubiak said, but tie-
