Mike Skurka wants to stay on as Nueces County attorney

This is good news. Skurka is a good guy.

Nueces County District Attorney Mark Skurka has filed to seek re-election.

Skurka was one of the few Democrats to survive the Republican tide that swept Nueces County in last year's elections. He defeated Republican Anna Jimenez, who Gov. Rick Perry had appointed in Spring 2010 to fill outgoing District Attorney Carlos Valdez's unexpired term.

Anna Jimenez, as you may recall, was an absolute horror. Now wonder she lost.
