Sam Walls
Sam Walls (born 1940) is a former Republican primary candidate for the Texas state legislature for the 58th district, in the 2004 election.[1] Walls, considered a community pillar and highly respected among residents and fellow Republicans, gained national attention when he was revealed wearing a dress, high heels and wig, while accompanying his wife, Kay.[2] The cross-dressing incident prompted adversaries and some supporters to urge him to withdraw from the race.[1]
Walls did not withdraw from the race, but lost to underdog candidate real-estate developer Rob Orr.[3] Orr got 60% of the vote, and won a seat in the legislature in the highly conservative district.[3]
