State Rep. Martinez Fischer and TDP Chair Soechting in War of Words

Steve Taylor's Rio Grande Guardian reports that State Representative Trey Martinez Fischer and Texas Democratic Party State Chair Charles Soecting are feuding over the Party's efforts to reach out to Hispanics in Texas.

Martinez Fischer has leveled accusations against Soechting that the State Party is not doing enough to court Latino voters and has left Latino leaders out of developing and employing the Party's outreach strategy.

Soechting has responded to the representative's widely circulated letter by insisting that Martinez Fischer is misinformed about the Party's efforts.
