Mystery 2nd Dem candidate for LD107? / More on Prop 2

From the DCDP Roundup:

Dallas Beats The State

By Kirk McPike
On Election Day, Dallas County performed better than the statewide average, opposing Proposition 2 by nearly 10% more than Texas as a whole. In two legislative districts, 103 and 108, voters rejected Prop 2. Democrat Rafael Anchia represents district 103, while district 108 is held by Republican legislator Dan Branch. Based on the Proposition 2 vote, LD108 may be more fertile ground for Democratic efforts than previous election results had indicated (if a sufficient vote can be produced from the GLBT-heavy Cedar Springs area). Proposition 2 also did surprisingly poorly in district 107, where two Democratic candidates are vying to challenge Republican incumbent Bill Keffer, a strong supporter of the anti-equality amendment. ...

2004 was a very good year for Democrats in Dallas -- even our poorest-performing countywide candidates took 48% of the vote. With the party picking up around 2% every cycle since the late 1990s, we're in a good position to cross the 50% threshold in 2006, carrying scores of Democrats into office. Texas itself may be a long way from turning blue, but Dallas County is about to join Travis in leading the way there.

(For more on this, and some local primary races heating up here, check out Kirk McPike's article at Burnt Orange Report, a good source of Democratic political news from around the state.)

Now, what I wanna know is, who's the 2nd candidate in 107? The list of candidates so far is here:

and I don't see a second candidate for 107 there yet. Hmm.....
