Democratic challenger eyes victory in Texas 6th District Congressional race
A Waxahachie-based lawyer believes he has what it takes to represent Texas District 6 in Washington.
Although a Democrat has not led the Republican stronghold since 1983, Stephen Daniel, 42, is confident he can take the seat from Freshman Congressman Ron Wright (R-TX) who recently announced he is seeking a second term.
“I feel like I’m going to win,” Daniel said. “I’m going to win. I’m going to Washington to represent the people of District 6.”
Daniel said voters in the District have been slowly “trending blue, and that blue trend will continue.”
His campaign manager, Jana Lynne Sanchez, who ran against Wright in 2018, lost by less than 20,000 votes. Daniel believes that gap will be eviscerated in 2020 because more and more voters are being motivated to turn against President Trump.
