TX-18: So Far, The GOP Is Getting Only 14% Combined

[Wednesdays]

It's a crowded field (no primary), but it looks really good that a Democrat will win this seat. If there's a runoff, it'll be between Democrats.

The leading Republican is at only 6.5% so far.

1. This is the former seat of Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner who died earlier this year

It was always going to be a safe Democratic set, but it sounds like even in a safe seat like this, Democrats are massively overperforming.

2. It's one step closer for the Dems to win the Speaker's gavel

Wouldn't that be sweet?

Graduate of TSU in Houston. I hope he does well in politics.
