DeLay had won his Party's Primary for renomination this past 7 March but thereafter resigned his seat effective 9 June; he had attempted to withdraw his name from the ballot as early as 4 April (when he had announced his intention to resign from Congress) but a Federal court order has prevented the Republican Party from naming a replacement candidate. As a result of DeLay's action, it appears there will be no Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives on the ballot in TX CD 22 this November. http://www.TheGreenPapers.com/G06/TX.phtml#H22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 7 August 2006 ========================= Congressman Robert W.
