Victor Morales said he will revisit several
issues from his 1996 campaign, including cam
paign reform, education, immigration and calling
for policies that are fiscally conservative. He also
said he supports some levels of gun control,
including waiting periods.
Two candidates named Morales on the ballot
shouldn’t confuse voters or split the Hispanic
votes Democrats are courting
heavily, he said.
“There may be some people
who are confused but they won’t
be confused for long,” Victor
Morales said. “There’s no way
Dan Morales can take more
Hispanic votes than 1 can. I'm
much closer to the people.”
Dan Morales, who has not yet
formally announced a campaign,
said he welcomed another
Democrat on the ballot.
“The more candidates we have
in the primary, the fuller the ideo
logical spectrum we have to choose
from will be,” Dan Morales said.
He hopes to formally announce his
There's no way

votes than I can. I’m

people.
Morales drove to Austin for Tuesday's cam
paign announcement. He hopes he'll be able to fly
to more campaign events this time. He also said
he’s likely to retire the truck soon.
“I promised my wife. I said after this year I
will buy me a new car.” he said. “My kids are
embarrassed every time 1 get in the truck. That
thing’s all beat up and old.”
Also Tuesday, District Judge William Moody
of El Paso announced his campaign to seek the
Democratic nomination for the state Supreme
Court. Place 3.
The seat is held by Republican
Justice Wallace Jefferson, the first
black to serve on the state’s high
est civil court. Wallace was
appointed in March by Gov. Rick
Perry. The court has been unani
mously Republican since 1999.
“I am running because I believe
in a balanced court,” said Moody,
who added that he believes judicial
elections in Texas should be non
partisan. “Balanced geographical
ly, politically and philosophically,
a court that is accessible to all
Texans, a court that is truly neutral
and fair to all.”

— Victor Morales

senate seat
candidacy shortly after Thanksgiving, he said. “It is
a good thing for the party and a good thing for the
state.”
Dan Morales said he believes voters will be well
informed and not be confused about two Democrats
with the same last name running for the same office.
Victor Morales, 51, who lives in Crandall, east
of Dallas, said he’ll be more aggressive about
soliciting campaign contributions this time but
still won’t accept donations from political action
committees. He raised $900,000 in his 1996 effort.
ney. Moody has served on the bench for 15 years,
the past nine handling mostly civil cases. He also
sat on the Texas Ethics Commission from 1983-86
and is a former U.S. Army captain.
