I obviously can't speak for him. I saw him Saturday night and should have asked if the job would be of interest. Should put his name under consideration anyway. He would be what people thought Jackson would be but was not. We need someone with political clout. At one time I thought Kay Bailey Hutchison would have taken the job, if we could have dumped Jackson, but that ship has sailed.   

His current term just started and runs through end of 2018. By then he will be 68 and perhaps ready to stop making those trips to D.C. Can we wait until then to replace Lee Jackson? A bit of coincidence: Lee Jackson was my state rep through mid 80's and Burgess is (like a lot of us) my current Congressman. (If you saw him that Saturday night, we were at same event.)
