Candidates for Local, State, and Fed Judiciary positions and prosecutors don't usually announce what which party they prefer, but her associations pretty much tell the story.

I'm pretty sure on a ballot she has an (R) by her name.

From Jaime Castillo's column in today's Excuse for News, errr, Express-News:

One, when did Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed become a Democrat?

Of course I speak facetiously because Reed, a Republican, and Democratic Senate nominee Barbara Ann Radnofsky don't see eye-to-eye politically. But the way Radnofsky carried herself for the cameras was vintage Reed.

Excuse for News
