Mack profiles Borris Miles
The Chronicle's Kristen Mack taps out an excellent profile of Borris Miles, the Democratic newcomer who unseated incumbent Al Edwards in the Tuesday primary runoff for the House District 146 seat.
Although Mack identifies Miles as part of a new generation of black leaders, his victory is also interesting in that it represents a rejection of a veteran party pols thought to have lost touch with the local grassroots. In a sense, political newcomer Dan Patrick's primary victory over three more established candidates in the Senate District 7 primary reflects a similar dissatisfaction among the Republican grassroots with some of its veterans.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the Chronicle had an area politics blog by Mack, Matt Stiles, and other reporters, where such matters could be covered with greater frequency, and more of a conversation about area politics could take place?
