No More ACORN for Texas Candidate

Chris Turner, the Democrat seeking the District 96 Texas House seat, has asked ACORN's state political action committee to stop campaigning for him.

"Even though there have been absolutely no allegations of any improper activities in Texas at all. . . . We felt it was best given some of the allegations from the other states that had come up this month that they no longer be involved," Turner said.

Turner, 36, is running against Republican incumbent Bill Zedler in a race that observers say could play a key role in control of the Texas House. District 96 includes south Arlington, Crowley, Kennedale and parts of Fort Worth, Mansfield, Forest Hill and Burleson.
