Texas is now a Latino majority state and Latinos tend to be more conservative than many people realize, which is why this trend in our census pattern is causing the state to get more conservative, rather than turn purple/blue.

What we need is a candidate who can not only get democratic voters to turn out, but also capture some of the voters who don't like what's happening right now under the current administration. Someone like Talarico, a progressive religious man, is more likely to be someone who might get some of those Hispanic votes and Democratic votes, vs Crockett, who definitely plays to the progressive democratic energy, but with her habit of cursing out republicans in sound bites, is probably not going to appeal to conservative Hispanic men.
