Or am I looking in the wrong place? www.tarrantcountytx.gov/content/dam/...

Can someone tell me where they are getting the 17% number? The results Iโ€™m seeing from 2024 only seemed to be up 6%? Or am I looking at the wrong numbers? www.tarrantcountytx.gov/content/dam/...

This feels a little misleading. Trump didnโ€™t win the county by 17, the Republican US Rep candidate did, and last nights race is for the TX senate. Trump was up 5% and Allred actually beat Cruz here in 2024 which was a surprise to me.

Is there anyone coordinating rides back for these folks? I live in Texas and have time to drive to MN.

They are running for Cornynโ€™s seat, Cruz isnโ€™t up for four more years.

Screenshot from slack:
James never took money from Miriam Adelson. He accepted a contribution from a PAC that Miriam Adelson contributed to. He has never met with or talked with Miriam Adelson and has no intention to.

James has been supportive of legalizing gambling in Texas since he first ran for office in 2018. He disagrees with Miriam Adelson on 99% of the issues. He happens to agree with her on legalizing gambling in Texas, and has since before running for public office. Itโ€™ll bring good jobs and good tax revenue to our state that weโ€™re currently losing out to Oklahoma and Louisiana.

When it comes to campaign contributions, James believes our campaign finance system is deeply broken โ€” thatโ€™s why he filed legislation to cap campaign contribution limits in the state of Texas. But until the Legislature passes those reforms into law, he will not unilaterally disarm and let Texas Republicans play by different rules. He was not influenced by Adelsonโ€™s money, and has continued to fight for stronger unions, raising the minimum wage, and increased health care access โ€” policies she doesnโ€™t stand for.

This is what was posted in the volunteer slack by a staffer when this question was raised, if it's helpful:

I kind of forgot that SX events could be fun (helps when the party is a few blocks from your house). Got some great stuff at @theonion.com / @bsky.app Good Party for Bad Times. My fave is this tote that I can't wait to take to HEB.
