These Texans are being eyed for Biden administration jobs

WASHINGTON — Will Texas Democrats be rewarded by President-elect Joe Biden?

Democrats in the Lone Star State didn’t deliver a win for Biden, didn’t outraise supporters of President Donald Trump, didn’t flip a U.S. Senate or any congressional seats and didn’t win control of the Texas House.

But Texas still matters as the nation’s second largest state in what is not exclusively a spoils system. “Biden likes Texas,” said one veteran Democratic operative who requested anonymity to speak freely.

And Biden’s primary win in Texas put him firmly on a path to win the nomination.

Among the contenders for the Cabinet is U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, an early Biden supporter who sources say is in line to be secretary of commerce or transportation or U.S. trade representative.

1. Not my U.S. Representative Filemon Vela!

He is the only Representative I have that is sane. Republicans put a right wing hispanic candidate against him every year and every year Filemon wins. I hope they have a good candidate to replace him.
