Two Democrats are running for a political office despite being behind bars, with one of them expected to win in Texas and celebrate in jail. Ron Reynolds, a sitting Texas state representative, is running for another term. He’s a disbarred Missouri City personal injury lawyer convicted in 2015 on multiple misdemeanor charges for illegally soliciting people to his law practice, KPRC-TV reported. The Texas state law doesn’t prohibit individuals with misdemeanor convictions to run for office. The convicted Texas lawmaker boasts of being supported by Democratic Senate Hopeful Beto O’Rourke, who’s trying to unseat Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
