National Democrats liked Huffstetler the best, but they also thought Jay Hulings, Ed Meier, and Alex Triantaphyllis would be the best in Texas, soooo. Looks like he's going to be joining the rank of strong fundraisers who DC wanted but flopped when it came to getting actual votes.
Jay Hulings, Ed Meier, and Alex Triantaphyllis kind of were the best.... primary electorate isn't the general electorate.
Only if you have a strong preference for male candidates. Gina Ortiz Jones and Lizzie Fletcher were the top vote-getters for a good reason.
It's very hard to be too liberal on abortion as a Democrat. Unless Fletcher wants to impose mandatory abortions, she's fine. She's not running in a culturally conservative district, TX-07 is just several blocks away from downtown Houston.
having the position, sure, but she is making it a main campaign pillar.
