I know some of you blue staters won't believe this, but

Leaving Texas this last time was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Due to our health we moved to Arkansas to be closer to my daughter.

Anyway, these are fro FB One is a picture of my cousin Bob with Beto,
I so wanted to vote for him and have him for my senator ... watch him answer the question and you will understand why.

And as a blue-state Californian, I understand you completely. I’ve found most Texans to be terrific, friendly, warm people, but fiercely independent (or so they might think).

Texas really suffers from serious gerrymandering. If that could ever be fixed, I’m certain that Texas would shift from red to blue.
