Glad to see he won the Dem primary. I think he's got a solid chance of actually removing Cancun Cruz. When I started researching him, I saw that he flipped a pretty red district in Dallas back in 2018, one that had been red since it's inception in 2003, and he has been re-elected every time since then. I think people like him.

He's actually the reason I chose a Democratic ballot last week (I was thinking of trying to find the least crazy Republicans to vote for), but I really do think if we can unseat Ted Cruz, that's the first step to sending a message to Abbott and Friends that we're not about his far right wing ideologies. I'm cautiously hopeful.
