Campaigns and country music

Mindy Montford -- one of four Democrats running for Travis County district attorney, along with Rosemary Lehmberg, Gary Cobb and Rick Reed -- has drawn big names for her campaign kickoff today at the Nuevo Leon in Austin.  Mark White and Dolph Briscoe, the only living former Democratic governors of Texas, and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Rick Trevino are scheduled to appear at Montford’s campaign event.  Maybe Trevino will sing “Better in Texas” for Montford and her supporters.
