Republican Susan Wright of Texas, the widow of the first member of Congress to die after contracting COVID-19, advanced to a U.S. House runoff for her late husband’s north Texas seat in an open primary Saturday. Her opponent could be another Republican, Jake Ellsey, who finished second — 354 votes ahead of the top Democrat vote-getter in a race that is officially too close to call.
“I am very happy for Mrs. Wright, that she garnered over 15,000 votes, over 19% of the vote, with 23 people in the race,” comments Cathie Adams, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas. “That was extremely good.”
Adams adds that Saturday’s election was a blow to the anti-Trump faction of the GOP, whose candidate, Michael Wood, had an abysmal performance.
“Mr. Wood, who had run as one of those 23 people as an anti-Trump candidate, did not so well at all,” she continues. “As a matter of fact, he only got three percent of the vote, and so that shows how popular the former president still is in Texas.”
Adams also believes Texas voters sent a strong message to Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger, who had come to campaign for Wood.
“I think that to have a congressman from Illinois trying to interfere in Texas politics is not going to bode well for the candidate in Texas, and certainly not a candidate who is anti-Trump,” she submits.
Adams says Kinzinger, who is trying to lead a revolt in his party away from Trump, got a strong message from the party faithful.

The Party bosses are trying to regain control after having been repudiated backin 2016 by the rank and file voters whi chose Donald Trump over the vast slate of usual suspects eho inspire no one. The people found they had the power to control and guide the party in spite of the establishment and the outright defectors in neverTrumpers. With Donald Trump supposedly out of the picture, the insiders like Cheney, Romney, and the others think they can regain the power they once wielded. Unlike the Democrat Party with its top down militaristic monolithic structure, Republican are being reshaped from the grass roots upward by those who believe in the founding principles that the Party was first created to promolgate.
LETS HOPE Their efforts to “Regain” control is not effective.
Texas WILL turn blue when all the illegal invaders show up to vote. Better put armed guards at the polling places to check identification, stop mail in voting and ballot harvesting, cleans the voter rolls of dead people, and get rid of the machines. If Texas falls, all is lost.
baitfish It is happening. We might be down, but we’re not out. There are rumblings all over the nation.
AND Its NOT Just the illegals they are flooding in, but its all the REJECTS FROM commiefornia, NY, and washing- a ton-ofshit, that are turning Texas (and florida) slowly blue.. AND THE FACT THEY KEEP VOTING THE SAME Turnips in, that RUINED THEIR former state, yet can’t (OR WON’T) see that its THEIR OWN INSANITY that is the problem, leads me to believe, that their “FLEEING TO red states” WAS PLANNED! So as to spread their Rot, far and wide.
“Adams also believes Texas voters sent a strong message to Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger, who had come to campaign for Wood”. Hey Adam Kinzinger, are you having a great time going to establishment Republican In Name Only parties with Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney??? Hey Kinzinger, why don’t you run for Governor in your home state of Illinois, as a communist Democrat?
Because he probably knows, he wouldn’t win there either!
May this be the start of a growing trend.
