When the GOP Texas Senate on Monday unveiled its proposed new district maps for Texas’ seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, the likely impact on greater Houston’s slate of congressmen and women was pretty clear: Local red districts would get redder and blue districts would get bluer under the new plan. U.S. Rep Lizzie Fletcher (D-Houston)’s district was also made more solidly Democratic, but in a way that some expect could lead to a tougher March primary for the moderate Democrat. Fletcher’s old 2020 Republican foe Wesley Hunt was gifted one of the two new U.S. House seats granted to Texas based on the state’s population growth, and despite the fact that most of that growth came from Hispanic Texans, neither of the two new proposed congressional districts would be majority Hispanic.
