Republicans are starting to pay more attention to South Texas' Senate District 27, which is the only competitive Senate district in November. Still, it remains a question if they will go all in on the campaign.
Addressing a Hidalgo County GOP dinner last month, Lt. Gov.singled out for praise a friendly Democrat in the crowd, retiring state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. of Brownsville.
Still, it remains to be seen if Republicans will prioritize the contest as much as others in the region. They are up against a formidable Democratic nominee in Morgan LaMantia, a McAllen lawyer whose whose family runs the L&F beer distributor — and who spent over $3 million to win her party’s nomination while making bipartisan appeals that could pay off in November.
“I believe [Patrick] as well as a lot of statewide Republicans understand the opportunity here,” Hinojosa said. “It’s very real.” Lucio endorsed LaMantia back during her primary, but she distanced herself from some of his less popular positions among fellow Democrats, namely his anti-abortion record. While it may have helped her emerge as the Democratic nominee, it is now one of the biggest contrasts that Hinojosa is citing for the November election.
LaMantia’s runoff opponent, Sara Stapleton-Barrera, accused LaMantia of echoing Republican talking points, but LaMantia’s big-spending campaign plowed its way to a 14-percentage-point victory in May.

Bills to Defend Marriage Equality and Contraception Access Pass U.S. House, Head to SenateThe U.S. House of Representatives this week passed two landmark pieces of legislation: the Respect for Marriage Act, which would grant federal recognition of both same-sex and interracial marriages, and the Right To Contraception Act, would establish a right in federal law for individuals to obtain and use contraceptives. Democratic leaders say both bills are a direct response Justice Clarence Thomas' concurring opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson which called on the Court to “reconsider” past rulings codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage.
