Ortiz has run unopposed or faced little challenge in winning elections since his first run in 1982. He has been a strong supporter of government takeover of health care and has avoided having meaningful dialogue with his constituents on the issue. Farenthold has defeated an incumbent in a "safe seat" who apparently thought he no longer needed to listen to the people.

Too bad for Ortiz that this district is on the coast and doesn’t contain Duval County. Ortiz could have won if Duke was around to help. ... But thankfully, history and geography separates the two.

OMG... I left the Corpus area due to the unbelievable hold the Dums had on the place.
