“This just reported today on Politics1:
TX CD-36: Due to Cong Steve Stockman (R) last min entry into US Sen race, per state law, the CD-36 filing period is extended until Dec 16.”
Great news! Hopefully either state Representative James White (whose district lies entirely within the TX-36, and who already represents around 25% of the TX-36’s voters) or some other first-tier candidate with a proven conservative record will enter the race.
If White runs, I think he’ll win, and he’ll be giving the liberal media conniptions every time he gives a speech from the House floor or appears on TV. Hopefully he won’t be the only black conservative Republican in the House: at the very least Mayor Mia Love of UT-04 should win, and other possibilities are Katrina Pierson in TX-32 (if she succeeds in her longshot bid to defeat Pete Sessions in the primary, she’s a shoo-in in the general), Erika Harold in IL-13 (I’d set her odds of winning the primary at 25%, and of winning the general at 85%), and maybe a few of others.
Don’t forget Vernon Parker running to unseat Kyrszten Sinema in Arizona.
James White has been an excellent State Rep. If he runs I’ll support him 100%...but he’ll b hard to replace in his current office.
