A “Texas Size Tea Party” came to Brownwood on Thursday night at the Brownwood High School Auditorium with several candidates addressing a mostly supportive crowd.

Debra Medina, candidate for Texas Governor and Chris Younts, who is running for US Congress, District 11 addressed those in attendance along with Will Bratton who is running for Texas House, District 59 (District 59 includes Erath, Comanche, Somerville, Mills, Hamilton, and Coryell Counties).

This event gave Big Country residents a chance to hear directly from candidates running for these offices and ask questions.  Guest speakers addressed the crowd, speaking about their political history and introducing their campaign platforms.

One noted moment came when an audience member asked how Medina is going to recover from comments she made on the Glenn Beck radio program last week.

On the Beck Program, Medina was asked if the American government had any involvement in the destruction of the World Trade Center and she answered, “I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard,” and, “I’ve not taken a position.”
