First and foremost, A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Lauren Simmons for House District 147. She has become the new Democratic nominee and will be unchallenged in November. The Democratic incumbent rejected inclusivity, and Houston Democrats rejected her, giving Lauren Simmons a considerable win.

It was a massive night for Texas politics, and the expected repercussions will be huge. Please don’t take my word for it. Just listen to what these Texas Republican operatives had to say:


The GOP Civil War is only getting started, and apparently, we’re all here to watch their downfall. Ultimately, this only helps Democrats in the long run.

So, what happened?
