The race for the thirteenth congressional district is already heating up. Representative Mac Thornberry has held the office since 1995 and he's now being challenged by a fellow conservative.

Today (November 7) Michael Barrett, a Constitution Party Candidate of Nocona is in Wichita Falls making a campaign stop. Barrett addressed a small crowd of supporters and gave a rundown of his position on the issues.

Barrett says Thornberry is too willing to compromise with moderates. "We believe in a strong, but smaller government. We believe in fair and equitable tax system. I would urge people to go to the constitution party's web site. Basically, we believe in a hot-bed of issues like marriage being defined between one man and one woman. We are definitely anti-abortion."

The primaries will be held in March.
