TX-24: Where do Democrats want to expand House majority? Look no further than Texas' 24th District
It’s here, in this diverse, suburban neighborhood with a “CVS y más” a few blocks away, where Democrats are trying to expand their House majority.
Valenzuela is one of seven Democrats competing in the March 3 primary in Texas’ 24th District, which includes the suburban areas between Dallas and Fort Worth. The race is an open contest since Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant is not running for reelection.
President Donald Trump won this district by 6 points in 2016, but Democrats believe it’s moving in their direction, citing success in similar districts in 2018. Texas is going to be a critical front in the battle for the suburbs this fall, with Democrats targeting seven GOP-held House seats here — the most of any state.
“This is a suburban district, and it looks not too different from many suburban districts across the country,” Valenzuela said. “There might be a couple more guns.”
