and Al Green. Al Green decided to run for the 18th and now will face Christian Menefee in a run-off. I need to read about Menefee. I know he got the Chron's endorsement (and they focus on moderate candidates for the most part for electability).

I'm in the 9th (Al Green's current seat which they gerrymandered) ... which will be fought out this fall. Leticia Gutierrez won on the democratic side, while Alex Mealer and Briscoe Cain advanced to a runoff on the other side. The ninth had been a safe dem district. We'll see what happens this fall.

Yep, such an utter failure that Democrats have flipped around 30 seats through special Wiz Imp 12 hrs ago #37

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Martin. YodaMom2 12 hrs ago #42

Isn't that convenient. He gets no credit for winning but would get trashed for losing. Wiz Imp 12 hrs ago #50
