Harris Co. State Rep. Districts under Proposed Settlement

Attorney General Abbott has released proposed interim maps that are agreed to by some, but not all, of the parties to the redistricting litigation.  The San Antonio court still must rule on the maps.  If the court adopts the proposed maps, Harris County would have 24 State Representative seats:  12 Democratic and 12 Republican.  Below are the vote percentages for each district from the 2008 Presidential election:

Dist.	Incumbent	McCain	Obama
126	Harless	61.9	34.4
127	Huberty	67.8	31.4
128	W. Smith	69.9	29.4
129	J. Davis	62.3	36.8
130	Fletcher	74	25.3
131	Allen	17.9	81.7
132	Callegari	59.7	39.6
133	Murphy	65	34.2
134	Davis	54.4	44.6
135	Elkins	60.6	38.7
136	Vo	34.9	64.5
137	Open	43.6	55.5
138	Bohac	59.3	39.8
139	Turner	23.4	75.6
140	Walle	33.2	66.2
141	Thompson	14.4	85.3
142	Dutton	21.3	78.3
143	Luna	35.2	64.1
144	Legler	51	48
145	Alvarado	42	57.1
146	Miles	21.3	78.2
147	Coleman	18.9	80.3
148	Farrar	41.4	57.4
150	Riddle	67.6	31.7

Beverly Woolley's seat becomes Hubert Vo's 136; Sarah Davis receives a moderately Republican district; and Ken Legler's seat remains marginally Republican.  The HD 136 Republican Primary race (DeAyala, Holm, Schofield, Witt) goes away, and the HD 137 Democratic Primary (Madden, Smith, Winkler, Wu) is off and running!
