....Districts like these are not drifting red because voters suddenly fell in love with Greg Abbott or Ted Cruz. They’re staying home.

When both the “Democrat” and the Republican are offering the same corporate handouts, the same border militarization, and the same betrayals of working-class families, what’s the point of showing up? This isn’t a crisis of culture. It’s a crisis of representation. Until Democrats in South Texas stop selling out their own communities, the people here will keep being screwed, and the GOP will keep laughing all the way to the bank.

Let’s take a look at the voter turnout for House District 42 (Richard Raymond’s District):

  • 2024: 29%

  • 2022: 25%

Now, Raymond can say that he alligns his votes with billionaires and oil executives all day long because his disctrict somehow mandates it, but the truth is his district barely votes. Probably because they haven’t had anyone working for working class people in office for many years......
