Under this proposed scenario, Congressional District 33 gets the axe treatment and ultra Conservative Kay Granger becomes the Representative of Forest Hill — one of the largest concentration of Blacks in all of Tarrant County.
Meanwhile and elsewhere on the North Texas map, Republicans have shored up the votes they needed to protect their colleagues Beth Van Duyne and Van Taylor. However, both CD3 and CD24 have been on the brink of flipping for multiple cycles and recent census data shows Texas demographics trending away from the Republican base.

I'm proud to have fought tooth-and-nail to pass the "John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act" in the U.S. House today. I believe that people should have the right to say who runs the government rather than giving politicians a free pass to choose their own voters. This crucial legislation making its way through Congress would again require states, like Texas, with a history of discrimination to receive federal preclearance. Now, the Senate must take action or all that we accomplished today will be wasted.
Gerrymandering doesn't sound like a sexy issue on the face of it, but it's as real as real gets. Republican politicians are attacking the freedom to vote because they know their chances of holding power are decreasing with every election that passes. The Texas GOP has embraced this all-too-familiar "cheat-to-win" strategy, making it harder for minorities to fairly elect their candidates of choice — because as the recent census data proved, that's the only move they have left in their playbook.

Growing up in Fort Worth’s historic Como neighborhood, Marc Veasey didn’t dream about being an elected official. He just hoped that he would one day be able to make a difference in the lives of his friends and neighbors. That simple goal has taken him all the way to the halls of Congress, where he is proud to represent not only the friends and neighbors he grew up with but hundreds of thousands of diverse voices across North Texas.
