Texas Primary Voting Snapshot

[Stallion]

Tx-32 which was Clinton +1 in 2016 but almost always Republican otherwise. Has been represented by Pete Sessions(R) for decades. The District includes parts of North Dallas and its northern suburbs. This is one of 4 top U.S. Representative races Democrats are focusing on. Mostly white, highly educated, degrees of affluent to middle class neighborhoods. This is exactly the type of District Democrats must win to take back the House of Representatives

all 12 voters this morning while I was voting were voting in Democratic Primary-the Republican primary officials look very lonely

In Dallas, Democrats keep it clean in crowded congressional race to take on Pete Sessions

A Democratic congressional primary in Dallas and its eastern suburbs has a collegial tone — for now.

All of them — former NFL player Colin Allred, former Hillary Clinton staffer Ed Meier, former Obama administration official Lillian Salerno, former TV journalist Brett Shipp and attorney George Rodriguez — sat on stage at Southern Methodist University and said yes.

"It's been very collegial," Allred said. "I really think that we all feel like we want the best for this district. We all think we're the best candidates, each one of us candidates do, but we don't intend to tear each other down along the way ... We recognize the moment of history we're in."

But in Dallas, the primary candidates appear to like each other, at least outwardly. They've got their collective sights set on the seat's incumbent, Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions.

It was once unthinkable that any Democrat of real stature would run against Sessions: He's one of the most powerful members of the House GOP and this wealthy district was thought to be as Republican as they come.

And then 2016 happened. Or rather, 2017.

As the dust cleared from the last presidential election and political analysts studied the shocking swings for Donald Trump in the Rust Belt, they also noticed something interesting in Texas: Big cities like Dallas turned out in force for Hillary Clinton.

Sessions district will be a difficult one for Democrats to claim.
The richest people in Dallas live in it — including the same oil billionaires who fund the national GOP and its super PACs — and Sessions is a long-entrenched force in the city.
He’s also a veteran committee chairman in Washington, D.C., and he ran and raised money for the House GOP campaign arm during one of its most successful years ever, 2010.
