The only bright light out of the damn redistricting is that CD 6 got much more compact and while we lost our Dem rep in Irving our district actually makes sense. We are a solid suburban 51% white 49% minority in 4 counties where we are all about 40 minutes from the city centers and then our little sister Navarro, which only has 13% of the vote. The base democratic vote is now solidly in Irving/Arlington/Mansfield. It also means the Progressive Caucus is getting 4 new state delegates who will be on the SDEC. With Jennifer now in CD 1, we keep the best Progressive Rule person. She has my endorsement. She endorsed me and Rob for CD 6 at the rural forum in Corsicana. Then since Anderson County, formerly part of CD 6 is now in CD 5, Carolyn can run for SDEC. She recruited my friend Pat from Dallas for the Committee Man position and I endorsed both of them at our Dallas CEC. We were all on the Progressive call on Saturday. Our current CD 6 committee man formally announced he is not seeking re election at the Mansfield Talks meeting last night, which was all CD 6. Jennifer is going to be a fierce progressive advocate in CD 1 and they have great groups there. I met Dax in Longview and he is great. Let’s go Texas Progressives! And all 5 of us are fierce Kendall folks and sustaining members of the Progressive Caucus, where we will fight for an actual SDEC seat, since Angel was gerrymandered out of CD 38. I mean it has been musical chairs but it is going to clean house on the SDEC!

Thanks for the honest assessment of this district & the info on this candidate, Michelle!
Already shared on Bsky.
CD01 sure does sound like a different world to me. I know the name Moran to be Spanish. So I looked it up and found it does but I also from Ireland. 😳
