Former Rep. Al Edwards passed away

Sen. Borris Miles, who succeeded Edwards in the Texas House, sent out a note: "Al was a pioneer and civil rights leader. He twice served as Reverend Jesse Jackson's Campaign Chairman during Reverend Jackson's presidential runs. He marched, served on peace missions abroad, and most recently ensured the right to vote for students at Prairie View A&M." RIP
