The Battle for Texas: Why Harris County Is Ground Zero

Looking at Texas politics like a chessboard, Harris County is the queen piece—versatile, powerful, and pivotal in flipping the Lone Star State. As we are gearing up for the 2024 elections, all eyes are on Harris County, like a bright blue beacon in a sea of red.

Not only does Harris County account for a staggering 14+% of Texas’ total vote, but it also accounts for an impressive 17.5% of the Democratic vote in Texas. With each passing election, Harris County only gets bigger and bluer. In 2024, Harris County will have one of the most significant impacts in Texas.

Harris County is the largest county in the state and the third largest in America. The city of Houston comprises about half of Harris County’s population. The rest of the population lives in mid-sized cities like Pasadena or smaller towns like Baytown.

Harris County is a majority-minority County, with Latinos making up the majority of the population. Harris County in 2020 was 12 points less White, four points more Latino, seven points more Black, and 2 points more Asian than Texas. Almost 70% of the population is non-White.

1. Houston is the most diverse city in America. It is truly a working class city

and has constantly been under attack by the radically right Texas State Government. They have targeted their voters, targeted their public education, targeted the city leaders and seem to think that is a positive thing for their re-election?

Texas State gooberment is controlled by rural Texas. Most districts are non-competitive - your vote really doesn't count. And even worse, even in a Statewide election we have not elected a Democrat in 30 years? (I think that is correct). They constantly attack all of the major cities because they are all blue.

I so hope that Colin Allred beats Ted Cruz (the most hated politician in America) and maybe that will be the beginning of the end of this backwards ass Texas Gooberment.
