Because her opponent was the incumbent. He told President Trump to stay out of Texas, so he was a juicy target, but he still had the incumbent’s advantage. Katrina isn’t great herself, but good to see Holland defeated.

Phelan’s a back stabber. Someone named Leach said he was the MOST conservative speaker ever-said it on the Mark Davis show.

Katrina has a national profile. Texas House is small potatoes/minor leagues. A challenger to Cornyn-’26? He’s old and she’s easy on the eyes-those things count.

Naw..... Just curious since no ring on the fingers.
Been gone from Texas too long to give a hoot....
And at my age she’d just pat me on the back and
say move along, but thanks.

“Someone named Leach said he was the MOST conservative speaker ever“(Phalen)

That is just BS. A lot of good legislation was killed when that prick teamed up with the rats to kill it.

Why not great, in your opinion?

Thanks for the link. I see why caution is advised. Good that she’s in a state legislature to gain more savvy, instead of the US House at this time.

That said, I wouldn’t have had a problem voting for her if I was in her district.

Same. It takes time. I always liked her gutsiness when he was a complete outsider elbowing his way in. No apologies! More tact and tactical skill will come with this new experience.
