How a safe blue candidate can help Texas

Odus Evbagharu is the former Harris County, Texas Democratic Chair and is now running for office to replace his old boss in the Texas State House. It’s a safe blue seat, but that doesn’t mean it won’t require work in the midterms: Odus is committed to increasing turnout in his district to help get Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico across the finish line. We covered:

• what his constituents are concerned about this cycle

• what he learned from flipping this seat in 2018, and what does — and does not—apply for 2026

• why young people should run

• how to think about public service, and the sacrifice required.
