The event will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will be held at the The Village Golf Club at Panorama Village, 73 Greenbriar Dr., in Conroe.

Brady's held his seat in Congress since winning a rare for Texas jungle, a.k.a. non-partisan, primary and beating Gene Fontenot in a runoff in 1996. Despite, or perhaps because of, his long career on the Capitol, Brady has a target on his back.

He was able to stave off a primary challenge from former State Rep. Steve Toth, but only by spending $1.5 million in campaign cash. Brady's big spending only got him 53 percent of the vote, one of his lowest re-election totals ever. Just two years earlier Brady was able to pull in 68 percent of the primary vote.
