Democrats need to fight hard to defend our Democracy.
There is too much big money in politics. Congressmen should not be able to trade in stocks while voting on matters affecting that stock.
I was the meteorologist in Los Angeles and lived through bad smog. I was part of communicating with the audience about smog reduction programs which have been very successful. LA air is better now that in 1980.
I believe that the value of every person. I will work to provide good education, job opportunities and safe environment for residents of my district.
I believe that salaried employee are taxed to the fullest extent of the Tax Code while business owners are able to shelter and hide revenues and then play accounting games in order not to pay any taxes.
I believe there should be an Alternative Minimum Corporate Tax. Everyone should be proud to pay taxes to operate our country.I hold Robert Kennedy in very high regard for his uplifting messages I am very proud of the work of President Barack Obama did for this country.

I believe we must stand up to Russia. If we don't stop them at the Ukraine border then the Western culture is in jeopardy. Other countries will begin to challenge sovereign lines.However, in recent years we have seen how our elections have been gamed. Some politicians have legislated positions that keep them in office for a lifetime.
I believe that nobody needs to serve in Congress for more that 16 years.

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.[4]
- 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.[5][6][7]

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+13. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 13 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 27th the 108th most Republican district nationally.[10]
2020 presidential election results
