Did you know there are only 172 days left until the November election? So far, I’m feeling terrific about the engagement around the state and the energy being put into this election. For Colin Allred to win and for us to flip several House seats, multiple counties will be crucial for voter turnout. A few weeks ago, we discussed the importance of Harris County, and as the second biggest county in Texas, it’s time we talk about my hometown and county, Dallas.
Dallas County is the second-most populous county in Texas and a majority-minority county. The population is 40% Hispanic, 28% white, 22% Black, and 6% Asian. Dallas County is much more diverse than Texas as a whole, being 13 points less white and 10.5 points more Black than the state’s population.
This matters, because based on exit polls for 2022 and 2020, the majority of Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters vote blue.
