As I look on the map, I see that Tx 21 is my old home. I grew up there. My people are from there. Treating Hispanics as a base is excellent advice. Hispanics, working people and young people will definitely go for a good Democrat. But, you have to work at it. Because they are working and raising kids, it is extremely difficult to get their attention.
Also, I agree, don't just focus on the suburbanites. Don't get me wrong, they're great people, but as I am getting involved in politics here in the suburbs, I realize they aren't from here and their priorities are not exactly aligned with Hispanics, working and/or young people. It is a bubble. They have a real tendency to be a little pie in the sky and insulated from the realities of those who struggle.
A look at the demographics sez the voters are concentrated in just 3 counties & the bulk of those are in just a single county. A winning campaign must focus where the votes/ voters are. Time management will be key to flipping CD21.
I was so upset that I was moved to CD35 from CD21 because I wasn’t going to be able to vote and work with Dr. Kristin Hook again. In 2024, about 4-5 precinct chairs got together to organize a meet and greet for 4 wonderful candidates. Dr. Kristen Hook was one of the candidates. We got to know each other well.
Thank you for the great highlights on Kristin Hooks. She sounds great! Clearly she rocks the values of the progressive caucus!I don’t get to vote for her, since I’m HD 49, but I will support her campaign .💸

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that she wins it all.
You definitely put in the extra effort in 2024 & I know that you will do the same in 2026.
The difference this year - it is a contested primary, There are 2 other contenders.
Someone needs to step up their game.
Steve, I live in CD35. My energy will go there. I believe that seat will stay blue. It must.
