Texas Scorecard By Destin Sensky August 14, 2019
Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez is the latest candidate to enter the robust Democrat primary field.An eighth Democrat has joined the crowded primary field to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn. Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez, a young, progressive activist who founded the organizations the Workers Defense Project and Jolt, has thrown her hat in the ring for the Democrat nomination.
Since her announcement, Ramirez has signaled that her campaign will seek to take several plays out of the playbook utilized by former Congressman and candidate for Senate, Robert “Beto†O’Rourke.
O’Rourke came within 3 points of beating U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz last year, the closest that Democrats have come in recent history to winning a statewide office in Texas. Like O’Rourke, Ramirez has made clear she will be working to court young and Latino voters across the state.
