to the 1971 dystopian sci fi film THX 1138 and I might be from there....

Lamar is soooo gerrymandered--most of his voters are either: rich (he goes through some of the richest areas of San Antonio), white or rural. He's been in congress since 1983.
His district does have a very active Indivisible group. They are very frustrated with him.
He is pompous in a Paul Ryan kind of way...he knows he can get away with whatever....
It would be great to unseat him.
I think unseating Will Hurd is more likely.
