which trump has won by 15% or more (I'm basing this off memory), held by GOP since early or mid-nineties (at least). Dem turnout was the key helped by underperfoming GOP voters.

Here's a really great local news story about the districtct itself (which I gew up adjacent to).

And to clarify: this election was for a Texas senate seat.
