The Art of the Texas Gerrymander: U.S. House District 25

 
Tarrant County Carved to Bits
 
Roger Williams (R-Irving) was unopposed in winning a 6th term in Congress.



“Fort Worth is the new Austin,” said David Wasserman, the U.S. House expert for the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan analytical outlet. 
“It’s now been sliced up into a pinwheel.” Austin, the 11th-largest city in the U.S., had been cut into six districts for nearly 20 years until the 2021 map created a concentrated “anchor” district that packed together Democrats and made Republican districts safer. 
Tarrant County’s divisions carve up the county in such a way that Fort Worth, the 13th-largest city in the country, is also now the largest without an anchor congressional district.
