WATERGATE ACROSS THE GENERATIONS

I had a unique opportunity in Austin last week to meet with former White House Counsel John Dean. We compared notes between the political corruption he helped expose a generation ago when my grandfather, Leon Jaworski, was investigating the Nixon Administration and the corrosive partisanship that has mired the U.S. And Texas Capitols in special interest gridlock today.

“There was a striking degree of secrecy they had imposed very early [and] this lack of transparency always has serious consequences,” Mr. Dean said.

Reporter Vince Leibowitz captured some of the moment in a post for Austin’s KXAN-TV.

WE’VE RAISED $800,000 THUS FAR FOR OUR WINNING CAMPAIGN

Thanks to your generous contributions, our campaign reported an impressive $801,000 raised to date, putting us in a strong position as we head into the fall home stretch.

More than 1,265 of you have invested in a new day and a new direction thus far, and we are well on our way toward having the resources to counter our opponent’s negative attacks.

You can help keep the momentum going by clicking here.

Sincerely,
Joe Jaworski
