TX-07: Democrat Lizzie Fletcher tied with incumbent John Culberson

WASHINGTON – The U.S. House race between GOP incumbent John Culberson and Democratic challenger Lizzie Pannill Fletcher is generally expected to be closer than most in this traditionally Republican enclave of west Houston and the Harris County suburbs.

Now an internal Democratic poll of the 7th Congressional District shows it to be a statistical tie. The poll of district voters, released Friday by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), found Fletcher within 2 points of Culberson, 45 percent to 47 percent.

great news - even a close loss maybe means the national GOP had to expend resources to defend the seat.

She is super excited about the prospects for the TX-07 race as well as Beto's chances. She has not seen a lot of Culberson signs and she has not seen ANY Cruz signs. She works as a professor at UH and is planning during the summer to do some volunteering for both campaigns.

We had a couple of lawyers standing by but the amazing thing was seeing 20+ people working the phones. It was a great GOTV operation
