The truth is, we have plenty of experienced politicians who are dysfunctional leaders. For them, their experience only shows them how to be more efficient and effective at being poor leaders (once they learn the functional aspects of their role they only do more damage faster).
With nearly three decades of professional business experience, I know my ability to get desired results through negotiation and collaboration is a directly-applicable skillset to being an effective representative. Gone are the days of military-based, command-and-control leadership; it's outdated and no longer effective.

I believe that in order to do this, we have to raise the bar with our expectations when it comes to race relations. In short, I think the biggest reason we haven't made the progress we could is because for the past two or three generations, we've been teaching our kids "tolerance" when it comes to our differences - we shouldn't be teaching tolerance when it comes to our differences, we should be CELEBRATING our differences!
For example, for too many white Americans, their understanding of racial equality is based on a taught precept of, "color doesn't matter." It's really just a way of saying, "It's no longer okay to be racist" - which admittedly, is an improvement from previously-accepted norms but, when you're taught your whole life that "color doesn't matter," when Black Lives Matter arises, it can easily be seen as an affront to their understanding of good race relations. Basically, this is why we hear so many white people saying they don't believe in Black Lives Matter but, they're not racist. In short, they've been told their whole lives that color doesn't matter, and now they're hearing "black lives matter". So, they respond with "all lives matter."
Our diversity makes us stronger, smarter, and a better country. It's cause for celebration! Until we're proactively celebrating our differences, we won't achieve the sort of harmony that will empower us, as a nation, to grow and be our best.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Competitiveness
This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Texas.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2022. Information below was calculated on Jan. 27, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 223 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 143 Republicans, 79 Democrats, and one independent candidate. That’s 5.9 candidates per district, less than the 6.5 candidates per district in 2020 and 5.9 in 2018.
Texas gained two U.S. House districts following the 2020 census. Two members of the U.S. House filed to run for re-election in a different district than the one represented before redistricting: Lloyd Doggett (D) filed in the new 37th District, while Vicente Gonzalez (D) filed in the 34th District seat held by retiring Rep. Filemon Vela (D).
Six districts were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. In addition to Gonzalez’s and Doggett’s districts, these included the newly-created 38th District and the 1st, 8th, and 30th districts. 1st District incumbent Louie Gohmert (R) filed to run for state attorney general, while incumbents Kevin Brady (R) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D) did not file for re-election.
This was the same number as 2012, the previous post-redistricting cycle, and 2020. There were seven open seats in 2018.
There were 13 incumbents who filed to run in districts without any primary challengers.
Three districts were likely to be won by Republicans because no Democrats filed. There were no districts where the same is true of Democratic candidates.
Fifteen candidates each filed to run in the 15th and 30th Districts, more than any other. Six Democrats and nine Republicans filed in the 15th. Nine Democrats and six Republicans filed in the 30th. Both districts were open.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+11. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 11 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 22nd the 136th most Republican district nationally.[9]
2020 presidential election results
