14. Correct - Texas GOP gerrymandered both her

and Al Green. Al Green decided to run for the 18th and now will face Christian Menefee in a run-off. I need to read about Menefee. I know he got the Chron's endorsement (and they focus on moderate candidates for the most part for electability).

I'm in the 9th (Al Green's current seat which they gerrymandered) ... which will be fought out this fall. Leticia Gutierrez won on the democratic side, while Alex Mealer and Briscoe Cain advanced to a runoff on the other side. The ninth had been a safe dem district. We'll see what happens this fall.

That certainly works for me. ananda Mar 4 #1

Sounds good to me. wnylib Mar 4 #2

Oh, God, YES! Scrivener7 Mar 4 #3

She is a spark plug and we could use more of that. dutch777 Mar 4 #4

In my view, Martin is an utter failure. Lonestarblue Mar 4 #36

Yep, such an utter failure that Democrats have flipped around 30 seats through special Wiz Imp Mar 4 #37

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Martin. YodaMom2 Mar 4 #42

Isn't that convenient. He gets no credit for winning but would get trashed for losing. Wiz Imp Mar 4 #50

Perhaps you might want to re-read what I wrote. YodaMom2 Mar 4 #57

Where did I say you trashed him? The poster I originally responded to absolutely Wiz Imp Mar 4 #63

You actually replied to my comment, so I assumed you were speaking to me. YodaMom2 Mar 4 #65

I don't have an opinion on the job he has done - we have flipped a lot of seats. My question is how often does the DNC 33taw Mar 4 #60

AG when we get the White House back. Borchkins Mar 4 #6

is she giving up her seat in the House? yellow dahlia Mar 4 #7

I could be wrong, but... Happy Hoosier Mar 4 #10

Oh right. I think I heard something like that. I forgot. Thanks. yellow dahlia Mar 4 #11

The primary was yesterday. Too late to run for a Congressional seat in 2026. Wiz Imp Mar 4 #38

Thanks. A loss to the House. yellow dahlia Mar 4 #62

Correct - Texas GOP gerrymandered both her TBF Mar 4 #14

I was thinking the same thing PatSeg Mar 4 #34

Not sure about that Renew Deal Mar 4 #9

OMG, that's perfect! intheflow Mar 4 #12

Jeffries is not the DNC chair, he's the House minority leader. Ocelot II Mar 4 #16

Absolutely Not!!!! Sunnyskies801 Mar 4 #13

Sounded like a good idea to me. mysteryowl Mar 4 #33

I know its well intentioned. Sunnyskies801 Mar 4 #43

The Democratic party ran Kamala Harris for America's President. mysteryowl Mar 4 #49

Please tell us what you want dems to do for black women? Keepthesoulalive Mar 4 #61

It would be blatant pandering JustAnotherGen Mar 4 #46

No. I like her but she's too combative for that position. Ocelot II Mar 4 #15

She will likely not be in Congress next year. Happy Hoosier Mar 4 #25

But fighting loudly isn't the DNC's job. Fundraising and organizing is its job. Ocelot II Mar 4 #27

Likely? Try definitely. Wiz Imp Mar 4 #39

I like that idea angrychair Mar 4 #17

the party chair role is mostly background. themaguffin Mar 4 #18

Fundraising and organizing, not policy. Ocelot II Mar 4 #20

Absolutely! awesomerwb1 Mar 4 #19

She'd be bad at it. DNC's job is organizing and fundraising, not policy. Ocelot II Mar 4 #21

That's your opinion awesomerwb1 Mar 4 #24

DNC is a career killer. She should run for President. WSHazel Mar 4 #22

Can we at least see her win a state race first before that? themaguffin Mar 4 #23

Run as an issue candidate WSHazel Mar 4 #30

If you want to her to run as an "issue" candidate as a path to an alternative role, then lead with that. themaguffin Mar 4 #32

No chance as President I think. Happy Hoosier Mar 4 #26

She doesn't need to get the nomination WSHazel Mar 4 #31

No thanks EdmondDantes_ Mar 4 #28

Why can't a middle class or working class JustAnotherGen Mar 4 #47

As one of those middle class white guys EdmondDantes_ Mar 4 #51

If white men can't move white men JustAnotherGen Mar 4 #52

I'm suggesting we need to move more minorities EdmondDantes_ Mar 4 #54

Not taken seriously? Sogo Mar 4 #70

Depends on the white guy. carpetbagger Mar 4 #68

Yessss!!! FakeNoose Mar 4 #35

She will remain in Congress through the end of 2026. Wiz Imp Mar 4 #40

It is not Jasmine Crockett's job to do outreach to Black women for Democrats. Quiet Em Mar 4 #41

Coud not agree more JustAnotherGen Mar 4 #45

I would support that. republianmushroom Mar 4 #66

NO! That's where mediocre politicians go to end their political career. lees1975 Mar 4 #67
