Texas Border Districts Face Competitive Races

In Texas, the race for House District 30 is between Republican AJ Louderback and Democrat Stephanie Bassham, with Louderback confident due to the district's Republican leanings. Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar faces a significant challenge from Republican Jay Furman after Cuellar was indicted on bribery charges related to accepting bribes from an Azerbaijani oil company. Cuellar has pleaded not guilty, but the indictment has fueled Furman's campaign focusing on anti-corruption. Additionally, Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz is defending her seat against Democrat Michelle Vallejo, emphasizing border security and conservative values. As the election results roll in, the outcomes in these Texas districts could impact the national dialogue on immigration and party control in the House. The political landscape remains heated as Republicans seek to make further inroads in traditionally Democratic areas along the U.S.-Mexico border.
