Things To Know About The 23rd Congressional District Texas Elections

By Jessica Morris


If anyone is confused about who will be voting and who won't be voting in the upcoming election, people should know that all of the districts are having an election. This makes it a lot easier to keep track of. The 23rd congressional district texas elections will surely be one of the races that people will be talking about.

As with any election, there are a few important dates to remember in order to avoid missing out on participating simply because you didn't get your ballot in the box in time. The deadline for all of the candidates to file for the position was on December 11th, 2017 for this election. From there, the primary election was held on March 6th, 2018, and the general election will be on November 6th, 2018.

When a person is an incumbent, it means that they are currently the person who is holding this office. The incumbent representative in this area is Will Hurd, who has been in that seat since 2014. As a Republican, he certainly has a way of making decisions and handling difficult situations that are rooted in his political philosophies.

The exciting thing about this particular race is that this is one of the swing districts that people have had their eye on. This refers to an area that is slowly having a change of heart when it comes to their political views. Sometimes all it can take is a small population of people changing their minds to tip the scale and completely change the dynamics of a certain area.

In 2016, this is one of the few districts in this state that even came close to electing a Democratic representative. Will Hurd was only able to beat his challenger, a Democrat by the name of Pete Gallego, by barely over a single percentage point. The closeness of the race just goes to show how divided the opinions are in this area, but unlike with horseshoes and hand grenades, close does not always make a difference if it's just not enough.

Pete Gallego and Will Hurd have both been vying for the same seat for a while now. In 2014, Gallego had been in office for two years, but Hurd beat him in the race. In 2016, Gallego tried again, but Hurd barely managed to hold onto his position.

One of the big reasons why so many people are interested in this race in particular is because it is essentially the only of the many Texan districts that is truly a swing district. It is clear to many people that this is mostly a Republican state, so it can be quite surprising to find an area so divided in opinion around those parts. For this reason, this race has received extra interest and media attention.

When people don't know how they should be voting, they might forget to or just not go through the trouble. This is a terrible tragedy since democracy needs to have everyone participating and feeling like they have a voice that can be heard. Anyone who has questions or problems with their voting method should call a government official or check online right away, before it's too late.
