It’s not all about UCA and Sen. Gilbert Baker. There’s a House race, too, for the seat in which Betty Pickett is term-limited and Under the Dome has a handy progress report here. Baker and Janet Huckabee turned out for an event for the Republican, Bill Fechtelkotter. Of course opposition to abortion is at the top of the Republican’s list of talking points. Democrat Linda Tyler, an Acxiom exec, has a big lead in the money race so far.
