It's a red leaning district, but the Democratic candidate is great. It's a huge district. From San Antonio to El Paso! The GOP candidate is not from Texas. The is one of those districts where it really helps to be from. It's very rural. It straddles the border for 500 miles. Includes Big Bend National Park. Water issues are a big issue. But Abbott can rig the runoff mainly by timing it. Also it doesn't help that San Antonio is the part that was redistricted. The rural areas were not changed.

I'm one of those that was redistricted from this to another district .
