Red (really red) but not totally into that Trump's America thing: Montgomery County, Texas (metro Houston)


As Texas Suburbs Diversify, Democrats See An Opportunity For 2020.  (Houston Public Media, 8/23/2019)
About 60 young adults — almost all minorities — are crammed into a side room of a bubble tea cafe in the Houston suburbs on a steamy August evening. As local and congressional candidates make their pitch to the new group, there are roaring cheers — and a sense of optimism that wasn’t here even a decade ago. 
Ali Hasanali, a 30-year-old assistant district attorney, has been involved in local politics in his hometown since 2010, and he remembers a much lonelier scenario back then.
