When Shelley Luther announced she was challenging state Rep. Reggie Smith in this year’s Republican primary, some party members dismissed it as a quixotic bid from the former Dallas salon owner, who rose to prominence in 2020 for defying a pandemic lockdown order.
Luther had already lost to Smith in 2022, her second electoral defeat in 14 months. She generated controversy earlier that year for admitting that she was “not comfortable with the transgenders” and complaining that, during her stint as a school teacher, her students could not make fun of their transgender classmates. She also called for Chinese students to be barred from attending Texas universities, sparking bipartisan backlash.
But despite being outspent more than 2-to-1, Luther scored an upset win over Smith in Tuesday’s primary, virtually ensuring she will represent the bright red North Texas district when lawmakers reconvene in January.

China’s fault .
The Commies at the Houston Comical are deeply saddened.
As I’m sure you know, the Texas Tribune is a RINO establishment publication.
It failed to mention how much money and time Phelan forced lobbyist to spend on his primary race.
The TX Tribune is run by lefties.
I liked the fact that Shelley Luther didn’t give up after previous defeats. Tenacity is a good trait to have when it comes to politics. Donald Trump, Kari Lake and Sarah Palin come to mind.
RINOs flushed down the toilet like the worthless turds they are.
No wonder Leftists are in mourning.
And we all know that a substantial portion of Democrats are saying just what I said in post # 7.
Just reading this 1 article tells you how evil, anti-American, and corrupt the US news media is.
GOOD
Given there are no, that is zero, jobs available now in China, the likely hood is the students will stay here or go somewhere else. The over seas Chinese population is very large in Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Taiwan. American cities are in decline and there may be better choices for the young American educated students.
“Just reading this 1 article tells you how evil, anti-American, and corrupt the US news media is.”
In their minds, conservatives are supposed to be vanquished, not elected.
And when they fail to vanquish, they go out of their minds. Only their types (the pure and good and virtuous in their minds) are supposed to win.
This pleases me. A thing of beauty.
