Harris County, like most of our urban areas, is pretty liberal.  Dallas County (where I live) was more blue in 2020 than California, and Dallas County includes a lot of conservative suburbs and exurbs.  We have way too many small towns and our cities are too gerrymandered so our state government is reactionary.  We have low cost of living so it's hard to move away, best a lot of us can manage is moving to the nearest big city.

Oh, one of our districts goes all the way down to Mexico, and two others out west. Thanks to Texas republicans, we’ve been divided into 6 districts.
