Yes. I'm not quite sure exactly *where* his district is, since the
Texas House got creative with the district map. From what I read and
heard during the primaries, I liked him better than his opponent, but
that's about as much opinion as I've formed at this point. Once he's
in, I'd need to look at his voting record.
I'm still pretty steamed about Austin getting broken up into 3 districts
that all have tendrils reaching to somewhere else. While I'm glad about
how my own district's boundaries were adjusted, I think it's just a bad
idea to break an urban district like 10 was into little pieces and link
them to areas that don't have as much in common with them. (A lot of
people in rural districts weren't happy, either, since it diluted their
power into urban areas.)
