A few words about CD18 turnout
I feel I need to say something about this, which ran just before the CD18 runoff. Early-voting turnout in the runoff election for Texas’ 18th Congressional District is under 4% so far, highlighting the challenges in voter participation as the district … Continue reading

Right back to the campaign trail in CD18
“Quick turnaround” doesn’t do it justice. With Saturday’s runoff decided, Texas’ 18th Congressional District will regain representation in Washington — though only briefly before the next campaign begins.
