Word is that she will be picking up the endorsement of Tim Turner, former SREC member and former opponent for the CD22 nomination, sometime tomorrow. I'll post more when I know more.

UPDATE: As usual, the Ron Burgundy of Fort Bend County, Chris Elam, gets the story first and posts the press release.

Tim Turner, Republican activist and finalist among the candidates seeking to represent the Republican Party in the Congressional District 22 position, today announced that he is supporting Shelley Sekula-Gibbs as the Republican candidate in an effort to encourage unity from all Republicans and to preserve the district as a Republican stronghold.

Turner, who finished second to Sekula-Gibbs in the final selection by party leadership in a district wide meeting of precinct chairs last week, said he was honored to have received a significant number of votes in that proceeding but, once the party choice had been made, especially under the unique circumstances surrounding this election, all differences and personal agendas need to be set aside in the interest of unifying Republican efforts.

Turner says, “As someone who has been a Republican activist and a team player for over 26 years, I have supported many solid conservatives and have no problem in supporting the candidate chosen by the Republican leadership in District 22. I would enjoy the opportunity to serve the voters in the future if the opportunity to run presents itself, but the race for CD 22 is a race we must work together to win. I would hope that all Republicans will realize how important it is to put differences and agendas aside for a common good in this situation.”

We are now waiting on Mayor Dave's Big Announcement.
