I got gerrymandered out of her district. Otherwise I'd be voting for him for sure 👍

Yes I am certain a progressive challenger will upset the incumbent in the notoriously left leaning park cities. 🤣

These are the parts of Dallas / Dallas county that include the 24th district. According to the cook political voter partisan index, the district which includes northeast tarrant including Euless, Bedford, grapevine, Keller, and much of the Fort Worth part of Keller ISD in addition to much of Dallas, the district is R+7. On Tuesday a Democrat in Tarrant County’s district nine state senate race which is R+20 won almost 48% of the vote. He was outspent by $6 million dollars to about $130,000.

I want to see Rehmet take the runoff so badly, I really hope more people start to get out and vote when they realize what kind of battle we are fighting.

Having lived/work in all of these places, and I do mean this sincerely... good luck. I would love to see it happen, but I guess I just dont have much faith for those specific communities after having interacted with a good portion of their population over the past decade.

If he goes out and actually engages with the voters, he might have a chance. Van Duyne avoids interacting with her own constituents, unless it is completely curated. He would at least stand out if he did.

Please be a real challenger. All she does is be a tool for her masters and scheduled “job fair” phone calls in her district to feel important
