We recommend in the race for Texas House District 64
If you are concerned about what gerrymandering and limitless campaign financing are doing to our democracy, you need look no further than Texas House District 64 to confirm your deepest concerns.
Voters in this district encompassing Wise County and parts of Denton County now have a choice between Andy Hopper, a far-right candidate funded by a, and Angela Brewer, a progressive candidate with little political experience and unhelpful social media posts. Neither is a good choice.We were not surprised Hopper did not have any interest in interviewing with us or that emails to his campaign went unanswered. He demonstrates no desire to appeal to anyone outside his narrow base.
Backed by Attorney General Ken Paxton, Hopper defeated incumbent Lynn Stucky, in a recently gerrymandered district that now includes all of Wise County, making it even more solidly red. Stucky, a mild-mannered veterinarian, is a good legislator and a good man who deserved better from his own party.Brewer, 50, is an adjunct professor at the University of North Texas. In a phone interview, she offered some moderating gestures on issues like abortion rights, education and immigration.
