We recommend in the race for 6th Congressional District
There are many areas where we disagree with U.S. Rep. Jake Ellzey, but he has been a consistent conservative voice in a solidly red district. And, at times when it has mattered most, he has stood his ground against the most extreme voices of the Republican Party.
On foreign policy in particular, Ellzey has shown a clear understanding of what America’s role should be on the global stage. We recommend him for reelection to Texas’ 6th Congressional District.However, his interviews and social media presence reveal a congressman who is aware of the needs of his constituents in a gerrymandered district encompassing a majority of mostly rural counties, including Anderson, Hill and Navarro, and some urban and suburban areas in Tarrant and even Dallas County.
Love, 56, has experience as a council member in Midland from 2013 to 2020 and has been part of statewide committees like the Border Trade Advisory Committee and president of the Texas Municipal League. While he failed to make a strong case as a better option than the incumbent, we encourage him to consider the Texas Legislature as a better fit for his expertise.Dallas Morning News editorials are written by the paper's Editorial Board and serve as the voice and view of the paper.
