As we know, the Texas House now has 70 Democrats in it, thanks to the recent party switch by Rep. Kirk England. The Dems have a chance to close the gap between them and the Republicans even more before next November, as there will be a special election next month to replace retiring Republican Rep. Anna Mowery. That race features a slew of Republicans and one Democrat, Dan Barrett, who ran a pretty decent race against Mowery last year. The Mid-Cities Democrats are trying to raise a little money for Barrett by doing a dollar-for-dollar match on donations made to Barrett via ActBlue, up to $500 total (they're also kicking in $500 up front). BOR's Todd Hill has the details.
