Freshman Texas Republican Chip Roy tries to hold House seat against Democrat Wendy Davis

Rep. Chip Roy is betting that the Texas electorate hasn't changed that much.

Democrats contend that shifting demographics in the Lone Star State and a favorable political environment nationally can help them beat up to seven House Republicans in Texas. That's including Roy, 48, who was first elected in 2018 to a district running from north of San Antonio to the state capital of Austin.

Roy faces former state Sen. Wendy Davis, a one-time doyenne of the Left in Texas whose political stock dropped considerably after losing the 2014 governor's race in a landslide. Davis is seeking a political comeback against Roy, as the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is running competitively in Texas and GOP Sen. John Cornyn faces a tougher-than-expected race against Afghanistan War veteran M.J. Hegar.

   Wish I could vote for him but his District lies 1 mile away across the Interstate.

He will take a check.  I know, I sent him two of them.

And I am in Gohmert's district.  Louie does not need the money as he has us.
