1. Houston is the most diverse city in America. It is truly a working class city

and has constantly been under attack by the radically right Texas State Government. They have targeted their voters, targeted their public education, targeted the city leaders and seem to think that is a positive thing for their re-election?

Texas State gooberment is controlled by rural Texas. Most districts are non-competitive - your vote really doesn't count. And even worse, even in a Statewide election we have not elected a Democrat in 30 years? (I think that is correct). They constantly attack all of the major cities because they are all blue.

I so hope that Colin Allred beats Ted Cruz (the most hated politician in America) and maybe that will be the beginning of the end of this backwards ass Texas Gooberment.
