Thank you for demonstrating to our democratic members how to hold people accountable.
Thank you for demonstrating how to speak to liars and fools.
Thank you for your brilliance in making complex issues understandable.
I hope you will continue in the Democratic Party. I hope you will run in Texas when the next Senate seat opens up.
I hope the Democratic Party is able to work with you in highlighting your brilliance.
Whatever your future plans, I wish you all the best.

(10,558 posts)I'm sad that we've (temporarily) lost a good woman in Congress. She had a strong voice and is a real asset to the party. I hope we see a lot more of her in the coming years.

(316 posts)but in what I consider a win-win, we MAY get a dem senator, and we have a real fighter who knows what the hell she's doing in the House. I can think of no one better-equipped to tackle the accountability problem that the current House membership refuses to even acknowledge.

(22,475 posts)I guess I kind of assumed she would. If not, that will be a great loss to the Democratic delegation in the House.

(9,737 posts)She chose to run for Senate instead of the House, where her district was extremely gerrymandered to make it much more Republican making it extremely difficult for her to win there again.

(36,352 posts)a race that could have slid under the radar.
Talarico served a couple terms as a state rep and did get attention for leaving the state when Abbott was acting up. He's a good guy and he does draw crowds. But Jasmine elevated the race to another level, and seeing these two candidates rack up more votes than the red candidates finally gave this old heart some hope.

(1,772 posts)Texas redistricted to remove Crockett and help the gop. And that action caused Newson to put redistricting on California ballot and gave a lot of blue state governors the will to fight fire with fire and redistrict in their state. That is quite an effect and influence.

(1,747 posts)because of the screwup in Dallas County. I have always enjoyed her appearances on MSNOW and hope she continues to provide her commentary there.

(77 posts)I hope she runs again in 2028. She has a really important voice that must continue to be heard.

(5,389 posts)It wasn't a screw up. It was the Republicans testing out a new plan to cause chaos and depress voter turnout. It was deliberate.

(543 posts)Is she still a Congresswoman? Or did she give up her seat to run for the Senate? Anyone know?
