Eye on Politics: Texas Senate Race, Gov. Abbott’s Response, and Congressional Seat Vacancies in North Texas
In the latest edition of Eye on Politics, CBS News Texas political reporter Jack Fink covers some of the biggest political stories in North Texas and beyond.
The Democratic primary for Texas Senate District 16 in Dallas County is heating up as State Rep. Victoria Neave Criado challenges incumbent State Sen. Nathan Johnson. Both candidates are focusing on issues like education, healthcare, and the state’s power grid. Democrats are in the minority in the Texas Senate, so working across the aisle is crucial for both candidates.
Meanwhile, there is talk among Texas Republicans about Gov. Greg Abbott potentially being a VP pick for former President Donald Trump. However, Abbott has stated that his focus is on Texas and running for reelection.
Additionally, there are three open congressional seats in North Texas, including the 12th Congressional District, the 26th Congressional District, and the 32nd Congressional District. These vacancies present a rare opportunity for new faces in Congress.
