Senator Ted Cruz Versus Jimmy Kimmel Could Be The Hottest Ticket in H-Town during Father’s Day Weekend; Beto O'Rourke Will Be in Houston on Friday, June 15, 2018, With the Houston African American Young Professionals
ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR
Both Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat United States Congressman and 2018 nominee for United States Senator, and Senator Ted Cruz, the Republican incumbent running for re-election on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, on the Midterm Election ballot will be in Houston, Texas this Father’s Day weekend. In case you haven’t heard, Beto O’Rourke will be hosting a “TOWN HALL” with the Houston African American Young Professionals on Friday, from 5:30 PM through 6:45 PM at Ogun Art + Wine, located at 920 Studemont Street #150 in Houston, Texas 77007. Beto is expected to discuss how civic engagement impacts economic development in communities. He also wants to meet attendees and share details on how Democrats can keep Texas moving forward.
MOST TALKED ABOUT EVENT AROUND TOWN
Not to be outdone by Beto, Senator Cruz accepted the challenge of late night TV Host Jimmy Kimmel and has been talking much trash ahead of their “SHOWDOWN IN H-TOWN” at H&PE Arena located at Texas Southern University. In case you don’t know, Texas Southern University is located at 3100 Cleburne St, Houston, TX 77004. The loser of the “ONE-ON-ONE” basketball match between Cruz and Kimmel will donate $5,000 dollars to the winner’s charity of choice.
CRUZ VERSUS BETO
While this weekend promises to be exciting, don’t forget that on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Democrat Beto O'Rourke will square off against the Republican United States Senator Ted Cruz at polling locations all across Texas. TALE OF THE TAPE: In case you don't remember, back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Republican Party Primary for Texas, Senator Ted Cruz received 1,322,724 (statewide) votes running against (4) four other fellow Republican opponents.

OTHER "PROUD AMERICANS" IN TEXAS YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW
Governor Greg Abbott is the incumbent Republican running for re-election in the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Gubernatorial Election. Governor Abbott didn’t face much of a challenge from SECEDE Kilgore, or Barbara Krueger back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Republican Party Primary. In case you don’t remember, he rolled to victory with more than 90.42% of the vote statewide in Texas. Over, 1,400,647 Republican Party Primary voters went to the polls to cast ballots for Governor Abbott. However, you must keep in the back of your mind that Texas had more than 15,249,541 registered voters on the books and a population of more than 19,900,980 people above the legal age to vote back when the Republican Party Primary took place. So, while no Democrat has won a statewide race in Texas since the Tuesday, November 8, 1994, Gubernatorial Election when George W. Bush the Republican nominee unseated Governor Ann W. Richards, the Democrat nominee – every (REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE) and (DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE) must still run their race like they are trailing their opponent by double-digit percentage points.

Lupe Valdez is the 2018 Democrat nominee for Governor of Texas. Valdez won a tough runoff election over fellow Democrat Andrew White to earn the right to challenge Governor Greg Abbott in the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Gubernatorial Election for the State of Texas. In case you don’t remember, Lupe Valdez finished first in a stellar field of Democrat Gubernatorial hopefuls including, James Jolly Clark, Cedrick Davis, Sr., Joe Mumbach, Adrian Oceguenda, Jeffrey Payne, Tom Wakely, Andrew White, and Grady Yarbrough back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Primary. The total number of Democrat voters who cast ballots back in the Democratic Primary was 1,022,558 statewide. Comparatively speaking, 1,549,006 ballots were cast back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Primary according to numbers posted by the Texas Secretary of State. But keep in mind that Texas had more than 15,249,541 (yes, that's fifteen million) registered voters on the books and a population of more than 19,900,980 people above the legal age to vote at the time that the 2018 Democratic Primary Election took place.

So, relatively speaking, Tuesday, November 6, 2018, should be more about whether (THE DEMOCRATS) or (THE REPUBLICANS) will inspire more voters to go to the polls to cast a ballot -- rather than which party rules Texas.
