Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis is running for the U.S. House, hoping to unseat freshman U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican from Hays County, a congressional aide told the American-Statesman on Thursday.

This district is centered by San Marcos - Texas State University. Abortion Barbie is counting on the student vote to elect her.

She picked a district that we barely held in 2018 (by 3 points) - it has a big (but sparsely populated) rural area, but then reaches into both San Antonio and Austin. Looked designed to give Democrats a shot at the seat. While only 3% black, it is 30% Hispanic.

After Ted Cruz barely squeeked by Irish Bob, nothing is a sure thing for conservatives in Texas. Rats will keep pumping millions into Texas until it’s taken, as they have an endless amount of cash and illegal alien bodies.

Despite some overly optimistic reports of the DNC being cash poor, let me know when they actually have no money. Soros, Hollywood, and big tech is a bottomless pit of resources.

One of my HS classmates ran for reelection for sheriff in Hays County and the Democrats poured significant money to unseat him. He was a former Texas Ranger and Chief of the Tx Highway patrol. The liberals from SA and Austin have moved towards Kyle and Buda and into San Marcos.

...and kalifornians are showing up in droves.

Can’t afford Austin any more than they can afford San Francisco that they jacked up.

I remember the days when San Marcos was solid red and Reagan was running for re-election. Now it is embarrassing to say that I went to SWT.

The liberals from SA and Austin have moved towards Kyle and Buda and into San Marcos.
