Jack Brooks’ old District (Now redistricted) is now represented by the very Conservative Republican, Judge Ted Poe of Humble who is actually quite popular in the old “Golden Triangle” and he carried Jefferson 1996 which as you know was a very Dim year.
Also Hardin County, just North of there has became solidly Republican (In National and Statewide races).
And the irony that the old Dem from Brooks’ district who beat Stockman is now (momentarily) occupying DeLay’s seat. Nick Lampson, of course, is our top TX target in the next election (followed by “Zero” Rodriguez and Chet Edwards).
