There is a huge radio/tv buy by Pizza Patron and Wingstop founder Antonio Swad.
Is Swad a Dr. Oz Republican. His commercials never mention that he his the founder of Pizza Patron.
I see that the Losertarians will be fielding a candidate for this seat also.
Has Trump endorsed anyone?
I’m in this district and can tell you how Allred got in.
1. The district formerly leant Republican normally as the seat was held by Pete Sessions post-redistricting to eliminate Martin Frost (D).
2. Pete Sessions voted for TARP and spent years trying to explain that he did it for the good of Texans. Never apologized for it, either.
3. Local conservatives got pissed off and didn’t vote in the primaries, so Pete was the Republican candidate by default.
4. Pete Sessions ran a Ted Cruz Lite campaign that assumed his seat was safe and that he didn’t need to do much of anything so he didn’t get many of the new to area/independent votes.
5. Local conservatives did the stupid thing and didn’t hold their nose and vote Republican in the general.
6. Local people are entirely too enamored by the idiot religion of football and voted for the NFL player.
The reason Swad doesn’t mention he was the founder of Pizza Patron is because of this: https://www.pizzapatron.com/5-things-you-didnt-know-about-pizza-patron/
“The Pizza por Pesos® idea came from an outsider
Jeff Sinelli, friend and fellow restaurateur, suggested that Pizza Patrón accept pesos at its locations in December of 2006. In January of 2007, the company implemented the concept and received massive international news coverage as a result. Today, it is company policy to accept Mexican pesos in bill format at all of its locations.”
This was specifically marketed as being a pro-illegal measure when it debuted.
Hasn’t the Republican redistricting in Texas made this district perfectly safe for the Democrat, in order to try to keep adjacent districts in Republican hands? That sort of thing seems to be the most which the redistricters dared do this time around.
It’s D+25 now. Absolutely zero chance a Republican can win here, even in a wave.
The consistent swing from 2020 looks to be about 12 points. A huge Red wave, but it would take one of unprecedented proportions to start cresting +25 districts.
Yep, Alred is safe for at least 10 years.
Swad is fine. Whatever, who cares?
If I had a choice of Swad and George P, I’d go Swad.
