How many seats are we going to lose

[tibbir]

due to the redistricting? I haven't been keeping up like I should.

1. I Hope It Backfires On The Crooked Bastards!

I believe you meant to say "Gerrymandering".

[tibbir]

2. Yes, you definitely described it better than me.

The bastards.

3. Perrymandering...

4. Don't know....

I'm a Precinct Cpt. for Martin Frost's campaign against Sessions here in Dallas.

I don't think Sessions is polling well. And I'll damn well make sure my precinct votes for Frost ;)

7. Frost vs Sessions should be a very close race

Republican leaning district, but not near as much as the other redrawn districts. Two well known congressman. This means every other TV commercial in Dallas come September will be a Frost or Sessions commercial. Its a tossup unless the new Dallas Cowboys stadium welfare is on the ballot.

10. What about Stenholm?

can he beat the Republican in the 19th district?

Also...Martin Frost's web page includes this description of the 32nd district. Is it accurate?

The 32nd district, based entirely in Dallas County, is one of the most diverse in Texas. It is 50% minority (36% Hispanic, 8% African-American and 6% Asian). It also includes the substantial Jewish community in North Dallas.

The 32nd district includes North Oak Cliff, two-thirds of Irving, North Dallas, two-thirds of Richardson and parts of East Dallas. Congressman Frost has represented North Oak Cliff for 25 years and represented Irving from 1978 to 1992. Congressman Frost has lived in the Oak Cliff portion of Dallas for the 29 of the last 31 years.

5. It would be so sweet

to hang onto our seats in spite of Perrymandering. And if Morrison can beat Bug Boy... woo hoo!

[Wild Bill]

6. already lost one seat.

Ralph Hall switched parties in January. He will be able to retain his seat due to name recognition and the republican tilt to his new district.

9. Not if I have anything to say about it!

Check out Jim Nickerson for Congress! He now has a new meetup group starting as well.

He's been making lots of friends out in our district, and the Rockwall Democrats group has already endorsed him. He's come out to speka to us a couple times now.

8. If Ciro loses his appeal

you may as count his seat as lost for all practical purposes.
