Lost in the midst of it all -- Harris County (Houston) Texas turns BLUE!
Just a couple of races remained republican (County Judge, Tax Assessor, and a couple of others)

We have waited a long long time for this. New motto -- Once you go blue, you don't go back!

1. Go Houston!
I lived in Houston for over forty years till
I moved to Austin last year.

Houston proper, the city, has always been blue..
so diverse. Now the suburbs are catching up.

Yay Houston!

Dallas also went blue, and all Dems won BIG
here in Travis County.

We blue Texans rock!
