Much of what's wrong with Texas politics was summed up in one sentence in your recent article about Roger Williams and Marc Veasey. (See: "Tarrant delegation gains two new faces," Jan. 2)

"'I'm so excited you can't imagine,' said Williams, a Republican chosen to represent the 25th Congressional District, which stretches from Tarrant County to Austin."

What in the world do the people of Johnson County have in common with the people in Austin? It's gerrymandering at its worst, until you look at the districts that run from the Mexican border to San Antonio. Ridiculous.
