Travis County is a Democratic oasis. The Republicans are running no candidates in the county (for either county offices like commissioners or any of the judgeships). The only exception is in four of the six(seven) House Districts. Interestingly, this being Gina Hinohosa's open seat, you'd expect one to try - but no filing. They concede the district to the Democrats.

There will be numerous forums for HD-49 in January and July (Netco has one end of January, CAPTCHA is trying to form one on Feburary 7). Those interested, keep you ears open for them.

Wow! I thought I have a lot for my CD35 to choose from but this HD49 has more than I do. I believe in my HD, I am lucky to have A Democratic Party Candidate. What hurt the last candidate was $$$$. Anyway, may the best candidate win HD49! πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

I live in HD49. Saying we need a fighter is almost cliche, but the Democrat most willing to raise hell at the Capitol will be the one that stands out from the rest.

Who do you like, if I may ask? If you are willing to say.

I like Montserrat Garibay but still learning about the others. Agree that there's been some backlash against Tovo's nimby positions although she may get some support from the Save Our Springs Alliance crowd.
