In reply to the discussion: Texas Dem attacked by DCCC makes primary runoff for Culberson's seat [View all]Gothmog
(175,251 posts)I spent the afternoon yesterday in the Harris County Democratic Party voter protection war room. It was in the war room where I learned yesterday that four of the top Democratic candidates in this race were all from the same high school that my son and older daughter graduated from.
I will warn you that I have had issues with the Our Revolution people. I know the candidate in Texas CD 22 who was attacked by a candidate backed by Our Revolution. That attack backfired and that candidate did not make the run off after having a couple of groups decline to endorse him including an association of African American ministers who were upset about this attack.
I am active with the county Democratic Lawyers Association and both Lupe Valdez and Andrew White have spoken at our meetings. Lizzie, Alex T, Jim Cargas (the candidate who finished sixth) and Moser have all spoken to our group. I am impressed with Lizzie and have worked with members of her firm on voter protection issues in the past.
This seat will not be easy to win but I truly believe that Lizzie has a decent chance.
I believe that the DCCC may have cost the cancer doctor who finished third a chance to be in the run off with Lizzie. I have heard him speak and he is very impressive.
