What a lot of people don't realize is that there are a lot of blue pockets in the area and that Austin isn't the oasis of blue that many assume it to be. We live just NE of Austin proper and our area went about 55/45 for Hillary in 2016. Turnout has been crazy, and nearly all of the local races will likely be taken by Dems.

Now, if we could just get rid of McCaul here in the 10th! We're trying, but as with Chip Roy in 21, it's a bit of a challenge.
