14. Correct - Texas GOP gerrymandered both her

Wed Mar 4, 2026, 11:12 AM

Yesterday

and Al Green. Al Green decided to run for the 18th and now will face Christian Menefee in a run-off. I need to read about Menefee. I know he got the Chron's endorsement (and they focus on moderate candidates for the most part for electability).

I'm in the 9th (Al Green's current seat which they gerrymandered) ... which will be fought out this fall. Leticia Gutierrez won on the democratic side, while Alex Mealer and Briscoe Cain advanced to a runoff on the other side. The ninth had been a safe dem district. We'll see what happens this fall.

In my view, Martin is an utter failure. Lonestarblue Yesterday #36

Yep, such an utter failure that Democrats have flipped around 30 seats through special Wiz Imp Yesterday #37

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Martin. YodaMom2 Yesterday #42

Isn't that convenient. He gets no credit for winning but would get trashed for losing. Wiz Imp Yesterday #50

Perhaps you might want to re-read what I wrote. YodaMom2 Yesterday #57

Where did I say you trashed him? The poster I originally responded to absolutely Wiz Imp 23 hrs ago #63

You actually replied to my comment, so I assumed you were speaking to me. YodaMom2 23 hrs ago #65

I don't have an opinion on the job he has done - we have flipped a lot of seats. My question is how often does the DNC 33taw 23 hrs ago #60

I could be wrong, but... Happy Hoosier Yesterday #10

Oh right. I think I heard something like that. I forgot. Thanks. yellow dahlia Yesterday #11

Thanks. A loss to the House. yellow dahlia 23 hrs ago #62

OMG, that's perfect! intheflow Yesterday #12

Jeffries is not the DNC chair, he's the House minority leader. Ocelot II Yesterday #16

Absolutely Not!!!! Sunnyskies801 Yesterday #13

Sounded like a good idea to me. mysteryowl Yesterday #33

It would be blatant pandering JustAnotherGen Yesterday #46

No. I like her but she's too combative for that position. Ocelot II Yesterday #15

She will likely not be in Congress next year. Happy Hoosier Yesterday #25

But fighting loudly isn't the DNC's job. Fundraising and organizing is its job. Ocelot II Yesterday #27

Likely? Try definitely. Wiz Imp Yesterday #39

I like that idea angrychair Yesterday #17

the party chair role is mostly background. themaguffin Yesterday #18

Fundraising and organizing, not policy. Ocelot II Yesterday #20

Absolutely! awesomerwb1 Yesterday #19

She'd be bad at it. DNC's job is organizing and fundraising, not policy. Ocelot II Yesterday #21

That's your opinion awesomerwb1 Yesterday #24

DNC is a career killer. She should run for President. WSHazel Yesterday #22

Can we at least see her win a state race first before that? themaguffin Yesterday #23

Run as an issue candidate WSHazel Yesterday #30

If you want to her to run as an "issue" candidate as a path to an alternative role, then lead with that. themaguffin Yesterday #32

No chance as President I think. Happy Hoosier Yesterday #26

She doesn't need to get the nomination WSHazel Yesterday #31
