The Art of the Texas Gerrymander: U.S. House District 33

 
Diluting the Power of Hispanic and
Asian Voters with Surgical Precision
 
Marc Veasey (D-Fort Worth) won a 6th term in Congress with 72.8% of the vote in 2022.  



The Texas Tribune, 10/15/2021
The intensity with which Texas Republicans are struggling against demographic tides as they redraw the state's congressional districts can best be seen in their new maps for the Dallas-Fort Worth region, specifically its suburbs. 
For decades, suburban communities offered the GOP solid political ground. But census figures demonstrate the state is growing away from Republicans, with nearly all of its population gains coming within communities of color more likely to support Democrats. 
That shift has reached the suburbs. In a bid to hold the political turf, Republicans zeroed in on communities with high shares of potential voters of color and grafted them onto massive districts dominated by white voters.
