The greater Houston portion of the 10th district is a GOP stronghold. I haven't zoomed down to the street level on it yet, but I know most of the neighborhoods.
It includes upscale neighborhoods, and is mostly upper middle class. I don't think much is actually within the city limits of Houston (and don't want to be), and it becomes rural, but still conservative, in the western portions of Harris County.
There might be a couple of rough parts of town along Highway 290 within the 10th, but I'm guessing that the GOP owns the greater Houston part of that district by a 60-40 margin or better. The 10th district is a GOP lock.
Dog Gone, thanks! the ORVS is rated as 63% or so.
So yes it is a safe seat, the only curve ball is Lloyd Doggett has $2 million in a bankroll, and he might want to roll the dice with it. No matter, I've followed him enough I could take him on and win easily, as long as it is an R and not a D district. he is a partisan liberal.
So now my question is what sort of Republican field to expect?
Are there any particular leaders in the GOP in those parts (near Katy) as distinct from Harris co GOP?
