My curiosity is the fact how the incumbent still remains in his seat to this day. Best of luck. Honestly with the economy we have it should be $30 minimum wage.

And gerrymandering. But Harris County’s turnout in 2024 was pathetic.

Texas has too many carpet baggers running our Texas. Who claim to know Texas but they don’t. I 🙏🏼 that we get the blue wave that I have long waited for.

Sounds like an excellent candidate and well suited to the district!

I think it might be an interesting co-series to highlight districts where no one has stepped up to run against the gop. Like the same kind of breakdown you did for this one - it might inspire someone to run for it when they see what IT is…?

Like HD33? We need a candidate!!

"Far from being a right-wing vanguard, 2024 exit polls showed Gen Z men were the least likely of any male age to vote for Republican Donald Trump for president (49%, compared to 52% of men age 30-44, 59% of men age 45-64, and 55% of men age 65 and older).

Again to the contrary, Table 1 shows that Gen Z men and women actually agree on crucial values."

Did you know Gen Z is the first American generation without a white majority? Did the crosstabs break it down also by race?

it was just a diary.....ICYDK....that's when someone posts their thougths, sometime brief, silly or an in depth article..

The only thing i know about Gen Z is that they come right after Gen Y ....still working on 'facism'* 'neoiberalism' and a few other poly sci terms

*u know u know when 2024 was doomed ? a whole bunch of people called a whole bunch of other people fascists without a clue of what the word means or who in god's great dumb America would have a clues as to what it meant

I think its called 'talking over' someone's head

Haha, and after Gen Z is Gen Alpha. But we call Gen Y “millennials” now. We’ve been doomed since 2020, when we obviously entered a parallel universe.

a black pastor on Kirk: “I think that their allegiance to their political association trumps their connection to the cross,” Bryant said of church leaders who have praised Kirk. "
