Isn’t this the so-called mom and pink tennis shoes who ran for governor? Was this a safe seat?
No. Although Lamar Smith held CD 21 for many years, the district has been gerrymandered over the years. It now extends from the suburbs of San Antonio to the suburbs of Austin with the Texas Hill Country in between. Davis led Roy for the first few hours because the suburban vote hit first (Biden led Trump for awhile too until the rural votes came in). When the rural counties began sending in their votes, Roy had his margin of victory.
I voted from outside the U.S. and the Texas ballot I received had only three races - president, U.S. Senate and U.S. House. I spent $45 to have the ballot delivered in time and Republicans won all three races.
God bless Texas! Rep. Roy deserves re-election.
