She's in one of those "protected" majority-minority seats


The problem with the set aside districts like this,IMO is that if she keeps the seat long enough that at some point when the democrats get back in control then she will be a committee chair along with others because of senority.... scary to think about.

That's not the only thing to be scared about. If the Dems win control Charles Rangel becomes chairman of the Ways and Means committee. That's why we need redistricting in Texas to pass for all the other seats. It could give us 5 or 6 new Republicans at the expense of an equal number of current Dems.
