20 Targets for 2008 (Texas House)


by: RBH

(Again great stuff from RBH. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)

Using the data on the election analysis page (for 2004, I'll update slightly when the 2006 data is posted), here are the 7 Republicans who are in the bluest districts.

Haggerty (HD78), Murphy (HD133), Goolsby (HD102), England (HD106), Harper-Brown (HD105), Latham (HD101), and Branch (HD108).

Haggerty hasn't been challenged by a Democrat since 1998. He was almost unseated in the primary though.

Murphy and Latham are freshmen. Murphy won with 56%. Latham beat an incumbent in the primary and didn't face a Democrat.

Goolsby won with 52%, England won with 49%, Brown won with 55%, and Branch won with 56%.

the other 13 Republicans are under the fold!
