🧵 The election results in Texas are a story of HOPE for the South and the country. Here's why 👇🏽
1/ @BetoORourke had the best governor's race performance in 20+ years. Thank you, Beto, for inspiring millions of us.
@BetoORourke 2/ Texas Latinos rejected right-wing extremism, and overwhelmingly voted for Democratic & progressive candidates.

Our Congressional seats that voted for Biden in 2020 STAYED BLUE. Now, it's time to deliver for working class Latinos.

Republicans flip the much-litigated #FL04, with Aaron Bean (R) scoring an easy pickup in a seat that is no longer racially gerrymandered.

R+2
And per the NYT, R's have also flipped #FL07, a suburban Orlando seat that moderate Dem Stephanie Murphy (D) bailed on, criticizing her party's direction.

R+3
Dems get a low-hanging fruit one back, the new deep-blue #TX35 around Austin.

So... here is my countdown of the top 10 primaries I'm watching tonight in Texas.

(There's a lot more happening, so take this as my own idiosyncratic sense of what I'm finding important!)
1️⃣0️⃣ ATTORNEY GENERAL primaries: Ken Paxton is indicted, but he's managed to channel his far-right politics into a Trump endorsement and a strong position. Meanwhile, Dems decide who'll face him.

The GOP primary is *also* a big test for the Bush family: nymag.com/intelligencer/…
9️⃣ The Dem primary for TRAVIS COUNTY (Austin) CLERK: Voters today are effectively choosing who'll be running the 2024 presidential election in the state's bluest county, and the person will have to navigate a lot of GOP shenanigans. boltsmag.org/voting-rights-…

New this morning: Five questions the Texas primary will answer texastribune.org/2022/03/01/tex…
Everyone knows the top statewide primary is the GOP primary for AG. Has @EvaGuzmanForAG been rising at the end?

“Judging by the actions of my opponent, I think we are doing extremely well,” she said Friday after Paxton unleashed late TV blitz against her

texastribune.org/2022/03/01/tex…
Paxton is the most at risk of a runoff, but other GOP statewide officials, like Abbott and Miller, face meaningful opposition that they'd like to knock out in Round 1. Plus, the Phelan machine faces its first primaries: texastribune.org/2022/03/01/tex… #txlege

I am considering running to represent our community in the United States Congress.

We can make the world a better place if we fight for it – organize for it. I hope you'll consider joining me in this exploratory phase: rungregrun.org #TX35
If top Republicans won’t fix the Texas power grid and fight climate change, then we need someone in Congress who will— so our families don’t freeze in the next storm.
If the Texas Legislature continues to ban raising the minimum wage, then we need Congress to require living wages for all, with good healthcare, and the freedom to organize a union.

If Texas Democrats flip the state legislature this November, that means Republicans don’t get to draw gerrymandered maps like this anymore. #TurnTexasBlue
The reason #TX35 was drawn this way was to pack as many people of color, young & progressive voters into one district as possible to dilute their votes so the GOP wins more Congressional seats. Multiple courts deemed it discriminatory & unconstitutional. But SCOTUS upheld it. 😡
Here's another beauty -- Dan Crenshaw’s district. Often described as Bart Simpson taking a dump.
