| Description | Robert Gammage, a reform-minded Texas lawmaker who was part of the renouned "Dirty Thirty" in the early 1970s and then made an ill-fated run for governor in 2006, died Monday at age 74.
Gammage, who for several years operated a law firm in Austin, represented part of Harris County in the Texas House, the state Senate and in Congress. He also was a state appeals court judge and served on the Texas Supreme for four years in the 1990s.
After being out of the political mix for more than a decade, Gammage made a brief comeback when he ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2006. He ran a freewheeling but low-budget primary before losing to former U.S. Rep. Chris Bell of Houston. |
