In case you missed it, as numerous strong candidates announce their campaigns against vulnerable Congressman Pete Sessions, Inside Elections moved Texas’ 32nd congressional district to “Likely R”. Recently the Cook Political Report also moved the race towards the Democrats and rated the race “Leans Republican.”
“Congressman Sessions has failed his constituents repeatedly over recent months; from his unwillingness to listen to the community he claims to represent, to his vote for the devastating Republican healthcare repeal bill. This rating change is further proof that Congressman Sessions’ reelection prospects do not look bright,” said Cole Leiter of the DCCC.

2018 House Overview (May 19, 2017)
By Nathan L. Gonzales
32nd District (Pete Sessions, R, re-elected 71%). Clinton 49%. Democrats didn’t even field a candidate against the congressman last year, but Clinton carried the district and the party has set their sights on the seat. Former Clinton campaign staffer Ed Meier (who was going to head her transition team) is running along with civil rights attorney Colin Allred, who played football at local Hillcrest High School and briefly in the NFL. Children’s Medical Center Senior Vice President and General Counsel Regina Montoya is also mentioned. Painter/former President George W. Bush is a constituent. Move from Solid R to Likely R.
