6. I want Tony to stay in. If he's out Katy will run against the incumbent that Abbott put in.

If Tony stays, Katy runs in an open seat. And she runs on Tony's reputation too. She has a good chance of winning.

Abbott is notorious for rigging special elections. Look what he did when Sylvester Turner died? He refused to hold an election. This time, it will be rigged an rushed. Abbott will hold it when he has the votes to get AK-guy in a special. No, just no. Plus most of the Democrats don't know which district they live in right now. I just voted in CD 21 in the primary, but if there is a special election for an unexpired term, I will end up voting in CD 23. How many people would know that. The rest of CD 23 is very rural. But the suburban San Antonio area is sliced and diced. I can just see me going door to door..."Remember how you voted for Kristin Hook in the primary and how she won? Well, you need to vote for someone else ". No, just no!!!

The rural areas will all stay the same! CD 23 will stay red if a special election is held.

You people aren't from here!!! You don't know how it is!!

Eric will be replaced with a Democrat. CD 23 will fall into perpetual darkness....
