Thank you for demonstrating to our democratic members how to hold people accountable.
Thank you for demonstrating how to speak to liars and fools.
Thank you for your brilliance in making complex issues understandable.
I hope you will continue in the Democratic Party. I hope you will run in Texas when the next Senate seat opens up.
I hope the Democratic Party is able to work with you in highlighting your brilliance.
Whatever your future plans, I wish you all the best.

(10,558 posts)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.

(316 posts)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.

(36,348 posts)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.

(1,772 posts)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.
