Representative D.F. 'Rick' Miller said on Monday that the only reason he's being challenged for his seat in the Texas House is that his opponents are 'Asian.'
D.F."Rick" Miller is being challenged for his seat in the Texas House for the first time since 2014—and according to him, the reason Jacey Jetton and Leonard Chan are running against him is because they are"Asian," according to an interview with the"He's a Korean. He has decided because, because he is an Asian that my district might need an Asian to win.
Miller added that his other opponent, Houston fire department analyst Leonard Chan,"jumped in probably for the same reason. I don't know, I never met the guy. I have no idea who he is. He has not been around Republican channels at all, but he's an Asian."that they were both disappointed that Miller had chosen to claim they were only running against him because of their race.
"It has nothing to do with whether I'm part Korean or anything else, it's just the fact that I'm showing up and the other communities are excited about that," Jetton told the"I think it's unfortunate he's trying to make it a race thing when it's really just being willing to communicate with anyone in the district."
Chan said,"The Asian vote cannot be really described as just a solid Asian vote any more than the Catholic vote can be described as one solid block," attributing Miller's comments to"a little bit of out-of-touchness."on Monday that"People should be voting for the right candidate or the candidate most qualified to win the election, and that's my key point. I don't know why they're running. If that's why they're running, then good.
A Texas State Representative told the Hearst Papers that he believed his opponents were running against him because they're"Asian."
