It is not like she is vastly geographically removed from the new TX-30, map, and there is no requirement at all to live within a boundary of a House district. Multiple Dems have lived outside of the House districts they represented or currently represent.

2 very well-known examples: Maxine Waters is one, and the now deceased John Conyers lived outside his old Detroit district for ages.

I thought you could run for two seats in texas...lloyd Benson was on for VP and senator JT45242 23 hrs ago #39

Senators only run for office every six years. It's not unusual for them to run for higher office on off years. LeftInTX 15 hrs ago #46

Absolutely not. Why in the world should the vote be divided in a state where Dems haven't won a senate seat in decades? themaguffin 19 hrs ago #42
