#TX-31
There is a special election for Congress on Jan. 31 in TX.

It’s a runoff between two Dems.

Please pay attention. Thanks

And btw:
The longest vacancy will be in TX-18 to fill Dem House Rep Sylvester Turner's seat after he died on 3/5/25
The final runoff in TX-18 special election is on Jan 31
332 days after Turner's death
So the CA-01 special is Newsom playing on the field Abbott set

After I moved from Austin, TX I'd go back to visit and explain:
0° is ice on the mustache, -10° is ice in the nostrils, and -20° might mean frost on your eyelashes.
My friends looked at me like I'd moved to Mars.

Oh well, I've called Minneapolis home for 31 years!

TX-31 should be competitive because 84yo Rep. Carter is senile to the point of wandering off in public, but the competition is sleepwalking, so I think he'll keep his seat unless he croaks.

BREAKING -- Republicans on cusp of LOSING HOUSE

GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa has suddenly died - just as Marjorie Taylor Greene officially resigned from Congress

Dems will add a seat 1/31 after special election runoff in TX-18

By 2/1, Mike Johnson can only afford to lose ONE vote

Condolences to the families to Doug LaMalfa and Jim Baird.
WE NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SPLIT IN THE HOUSE.

ELEVEN months after Rep. Sylvester Turner (TX-D) died, an election on Jan 31 will determine his replacement (delay due to Gov Abbott & Spkr Johnson). But when will he be sworn in?
Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident.

With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.
