Ted Cruz is endorsing Chip Roy for Attorney General so it's likely he will win. That congress area is a safe republican place.

He's a good guy. When he was on the Yankees he helped fund a charter school in Harlem. I donated to it.

I have given up on Roger Staubach in office. Mark is young enough with name recognition to go higher than congress.

The only qualification for a House seat is to be an American Citizen for at least 7 years, 25 years of age, and a resident of the State they are running to represent.
