New CD Map Is a Thanksgiving Miracle for Travis County!
It looks like good things have finally come to Democrats who have waited and waited and waited! Just in time for Thanksgiving, three federal judges in San Antonio today unveiled a new interim map for the U.S. Congressional districts in Texas.
Basically the Republican legislature’s extreme slicing and dicing of Travis County has been rejected. Travis County is now divided into three, not five, districts, and Congressman Lloyd Doggett’s CD 25, which was targeted by Governor Perry, has been mostly reinstated.
This means that Doggett will run for reelection in CD 25. Here’s a link to a full story and maps on the Texas Tribune.
This is wonderful news for Travis County Democrats, and I hope you will celebrate this political blessing as you celebrate all of the good things in your life on Thanksgiving.
