The Republicans have drawn the last two redistricting maps. Setting it up like this insures her incompetent tail goes to DC, but leaves the rest of the Greater Houston area safely Republican. There are two other similar districts (IIRC) in Harris County that are that way.
Houston is the nation’s third largest city, as in most of the large cities there is a lib group to deal with. Thankfully not as bad as N.Y. or L.A.
Would not surprise me if the Republicans do it again just in time for next year.
