With a polarized electorate, can Democrats beat Republican Pete Sessions by swinging left?
The Democrats running against incumbent Republican Pete Sessions are his polar opposites.
Their policies, positions and proposals are left of center -- in some cases far left. Their campaigns are a product of the growing movement to counter the election of Donald Trump.
Like other Democratic hopefuls across the country, the candidates sound more like Vermont senator and Democratic presidential runner-up Bernie Sanders than Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump.
In Congressional District 32, which Sessions has represented since 2003, demographic shifts have given Democrats hope that they will someday have enough base voters to beat Sessions.

The district includes the Park Cities, North Dallas, parts of Richardson, Garland, Wylie and Sachse.
