This fool is on both the Dem and Rep primary ballot for this seat. He's done this before and they tried to pass some legislation to close that loophole, but the republicans were too busy writing suppression laws to pass something to fix something actually broken. The kicker is, if he wins one or the other, then he can't be in the general at all. Seems there is legislation for that. Just not enough to help out those running the primaries.
Dr Ortiz is a good candidate though. She's an educator first and she is solid. But like most people in these races, they are getting into them as good people hoping to serve. They really have no idea the pit of vipers they have jumped into.
I think Gutierrez is going to surprise some folks, particularly Allred. He's covered over 9,000 miles of Texas meeting people this campaign. And unlike Beto, he comes off as sincere, there's actual discussions, not just photo ops.
Burch is the real deal. He's a third-generation driller and earlier served as an oilfield firefighter. He knows his stuff and is great at explaining it from old oil patch guys down to laypeople like me. He says he's the only Dem in the race, because his opponent is from somewhere on the east coast and has a history of voting/running republican. He also is traveling the state like Gutierrez. He does a lot of soc med stuff on IG, Threads, X.
Thierry needs to go in a big way, Houston voters.
