In 6 weeks Texas is having a special election (yes, on a Saturday!) to fill an open seat to Congress. Trump only won this seat by 3%. I'm a mom, small business owner, and community leader. Please RT and tell your friends so we can spread the word about this important race.

“When the power went out and the water stopped flowing, the Texas GOP fled to Cancun and Utah. Then they left us w/ the $16B bill. Our leaders have failed us and we must hold them accountable. That starts on May 1st w/ the #TX06 special election. RT and follow to help us win this.”

The other one ran in 2018 and came very close to winning it. Both Lydia and Jana Lynn are great ladies and I'd be happy with either one. I expect a runoff which will be 5 weeks later.

I am in the 12th next door on the west, so I can't vote in that race.

FYI this election is the same day as local elections for mayors and city councils. Having this race on the same day should draw a heavier vote than normal for those elections in that district. Often special elections are not held on the same day as other races.
