I met her at a State Convention way back when. I think it was the year Gov Richards ran for her second term; I was fairly new to Texas and this was my first adventure in State Politics. She just walked up to me in the ladie's room and introduced herself, then introduced me to Cecile Richards.
Rep Crockett is a worthy successor; Rep Johnson knew what she was doing when she asked her to run!
