I'm sad that we've (temporarily) lost a good woman in Congress. She had a strong voice and is a real asset to the party. I hope we see a lot more of her in the coming years.

but in what I consider a win-win, we MAY get a dem senator, and we have a real fighter who knows what the hell she's doing in the House. I can think of no one better-equipped to tackle the accountability problem that the current House membership refuses to even acknowledge.

unless there would be special election which she would run in and win (extremely unlikely).

I guess I kind of assumed she would. If not, that will be a great loss to the Democratic delegation in the House.

She chose to run for Senate instead of the House, where her district was extremely gerrymandered to make it much more Republican making it extremely difficult for her to win there again.

a race that could have slid under the radar.

Talarico served a couple terms as a state rep and did get attention for leaving the state when Abbott was acting up. He's a good guy and he does draw crowds. But Jasmine elevated the race to another level, and seeing these two candidates rack up more votes than the red candidates finally gave this old heart some hope.

Texas redistricted to remove Crockett and help the gop. And that action caused Newson to put redistricting on California ballot and gave a lot of blue state governors the will to fight fire with fire and redistrict in their state. That is quite an effect and influence.

because of the screwup in Dallas County. I have always enjoyed her appearances on MSNOW and hope she continues to provide her commentary there.

It wasn't a screw up. It was the Republicans testing out a new plan to cause chaos and depress voter turnout. It was deliberate.

Is she still a Congresswoman? Or did she give up her seat to run for the Senate? Anyone know?
