I was Gerrymandered into this district in 2012.. a tRumpublicon stronghold since 1967.

However, we are active, mobilizing and gaining strength there. Despite their efforts we were within 12% of unseating that shithead Culberson in 2016 (which was a HUGE jump from the almost 30% difference in 2014).

The Nottingham, and Barker area neighborhoods are their strongholds, but if we could get the memorial and SW Houston sections hevily mobilized we can unseat that jackass come 2018. i was just at a fundraiser for James Cargas a couple weeks ago. Sooooo hoping and doing everything I can to see him put in 2018!!!
