Texas 2-year term. Election Cycle 2026, 2028. No Term Limit.

53.1%

Colin Allred
D

44.6%

Ted Brown

Texas already has disproportionally given R's house seats. They should have 55%. Based on Trump V Harris it would be 56%.
Trump and his magic calculator.

My concern is Pres Trump's use of the word "entitled."

No politician is entitled to anything.

They have to earn the support.
