Clearly Safe R, but who runs?
Van Taylor seems to have first refusal. It's been pointed out though that the Texas Senate is a pretty good gig and jumping ship for Congress is actually uncommon for State Senators
Huh, I've actually heard of Van Taylor.
He has a very punchable looking face and is a total weasel.
He got elected to the state house in 2010 running as this Tea Party Outsider Non-Politician. Never mind that he had already run for congress in the 17th district against Chet Edwards in 2006 and lost. And before that, he was living in some ritzy New York suburb working in finance. He went to Harvard and inherited a ton of family money.
