The
Woodlands, TX - October 28, 2007
 After debating
whether or not a challenge to the status quo in Austin
would be neccessary for the 150th District, Ken Petty
heeded the call and announced today that he would indeed
run for the Texas House.
"Texas
is in grave danger, following the lead of our President
in Washington and that is a division, not between the
Democrats and Republicans but between the haves and have
nots, between those that rule and those who are ruled.
This is not what our government was meant to be. We are
a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
It's time we send that message to Austin with the sure
hope that Washington has ears that can hear. It is time
to say that enough is enough and that there will be no
more!"
"I do
not intend to be a paper candidate. We have some serious
issues that are not being addresses in our legislature
not just here in Texas but mirrored across this country.
It's time to get mad and do something about it. We've
been putting the same party in office. It's now time to
give the other party a chance to bring liberty and freedom
to a populace that only know repression and subjection
to an unjust system," Petty said in a statement posted
on the new web site.
Petty, 46,
srves as the current publisher of the Public News,
a Houston arts and entertainment newspaper that relaunched
earlier this year. He is also a skilled webmaster and
business consultant. He married the former Mary McIlhenny
in 2004, and is the father of three and step-father of
four children.

Spring,
TX - March 14, 2007
Ken Petty
is creating an exploratory committee, the first step toward
a possible 2008 bid for the 150th District seat of the
Texas House of Representatives.
"During
the next couple of months, I will be talking with my family
and friends about whether to officially announce a run
for the Statehouse," Petty said in a statement posted
on the new web site.
"I believe
that this area deserves to have a stronger voice in Austin
that represents all of the citizens, not just the powerful
and connected"
