Add Dr. Steve Nguyen, a Republican optometrist from Irving, to the list of people considering a run in HD-115 — the north Dallas County district where Rep. Jim Jackson, R-Carrollton, decided not to run for reelection.Nguyen would be running against Bennett Ratliff, a Coppell school board member and the son of former Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff. Irving attorney Matt Rinaldi is also in that race.
Born in Vietnam, Nguyen is the son of a soldier who joined with Americans to fight the communists. At the war’s end and Saigon’s fall, Nguyen’s parents gathered Steve and his siblings, fled communism, and were welcomed to America.
