Don't Hold Your Breath

Dear Editor,
I thought it was odd that the Chronicle characterized Joseph Kopser, who is running against Mary Wilson in the Democratic CD 21 primary run-off, as the "moderate" in the race ["Chronicle Endorsements," News, May 11]. He seems to be a single-issue candidate, with the goal of eviscerating the fundamental 2nd Amendment rights explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. Not only did he run an ad in the same issue talking almost exclusively about gutting those rights, but he also sent an odious campaign mailer saying if you want to exercise those rights, he'd like to force you to join the military.
If that is what passes for a Democratic centrist in Texas in a marginally center-right district, don't hold your breath hoping for a Blue Wave.
