A progressive case for the boldest candidate in HD49.
Hi, y'all! I’m Rep. Gina Hinojosa. I represent #HD49 in Central Austin. I’m a fierce advocate for public education, climate action, and Austin's local control.
From pioneering public benefit corporations in TX to leading the charge for voter rights--I'm working to shape a better Texas for all.

Virginia's #HD49 is a dark horse district to watch this November. This Trump+8 district in the Danville area doesn't seem like it, but it's got upset potential.
It's more Democratic downballot and features a Democratic nominee who was endorsed by the state police union.

And here it is in chart form.
Independents make things interesting in two districts: #HD15, where former Republican Mayor Allan Fung is running as an Independent, and #HD49, where Independent conservative incumbent Jon Brien is facing a Democratic opponent in this Harris+4 seat.

Down in Virginia's #HD49, we saw a very close race in a Trump+8 district. That's where Republican Danville City Councilman Madison Whittle beat his fellow City Councilman Gary Miller by six points.
Miller ran even with Spanberger despite no outside help from the state Dems!

Virginia's #HD49 has been a very under-the-radar type of race this year, but there's reasons to believe it's interesting.
This Danville-based district backed Trump by 8, but has a retiring GOP incumbent and a Democrat who's been backed by the state police union
RATING: Likely R
