He delivered his remarks last week to the Smith County Republican Women&#8217;s Club. Gohmert represents Texas&#8217; 1st Congressional District, which stretches across much of East Texas. He&#8217;s being challenged in the November 8 general election by Democrat Shirley McKellar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER (AP) &#8211; U.S. Rep.
