On this week's DDHQ Podcast, @erincovey.bsky.social from
@cookpolitical.com joined to talk about 2026's under-the-radar House races.

Cook recently rated #TX23 as somewhat competitive, so we talked about how the race between guninfluencer Brandon Herrera (R) & Katy Padilla Stout (D) gets close.

SAVE BIG BEND | NO AL MURO - I have been speaking out about since before the primary. Team Katy was present yesterday at the Presidio, TX Border Wall Forum. After the event, I spoke with my good friend Mayor Ferguson and we are looking forward to fighting this together 💪🏼💙 #noalmuro #bigbend #TX23

No better example of destructive, self-absorbed, & extreme vs accomplished, public service-minded, & mainstream than Brandon Herrera against Katy Padilla Stout. It's not left vs right, it's MAGA theater vs fair & focused representation.

#TX23 deserves a leader like @katy4congress.bsky.social

Tomorrow 🍀 Tuesday 3/17 catch Katy on 'The Source' on Texas Public Radio! #TX23 #TexasDemocraticWomen
- team Katy – listen live: www.tpr.org/podcast/the-...

Katy Stout's opponent is best known for:

1)Being VERY Pro 2A
2)YouTubing
3)Just Being when Tony Gonzales dropped out.

All in TX23 including Uvalde need real, worthwhile, honest representation.

Read then pls support @katy4congress.bsky.social.

#tx23 #texas

This is exactly why I decided to run for office. My community, my district, the people of the Texas 23rd, OUR VETERANS who actually served and defended our country – deserve better 💪🏼💙 #TX23 #Texas #Veterans

This new @rollingstone.com article on "the Republican Party's Nazi Problem" seems relevant to the #TX23 race between Brandon Herrera & @katy4congress.bsky.social ... for some reason.

#SanAntonio #SanAntonioTX #SATX @baylisswagner.bsky.social @nancypreyorjohnson.bsky.social @texastribune.org #Texas

When creepy incumbent Tony Gonzalez dropped stopped running, Repubs nominated a creepier & crazier candidate for #TX23. Now this congressional race is close to tossup. The #Democrat, #KatyPadillaStout can WIN!

Let’s get @katy4congress.bsky.social some followers!

Looking at you @charlesgaba.com

The race in #TX23 is TIGHT between Hitler-enthusiast Brandon Herrera and Democrat Katy Padilla Stout.

They said it couldn't be done – yet here we are! 🙌🏼💙Thank you @cjwarnkeofficial for sharing! @housemajoritypac.bsky.social #TX23 #Texas #Congress

They said it couldn’t be done. They said TX-23 is solidly red. But, one week later- a new poll shows this is a TWO POINT race!

Moved from solid "R" to "likely"

Despite campaigning for 3 yrs & spending millions of dollars- this race is now within the margin of error.

It is a DEAD HEAT 🙌🏼 💙 #TX23

Reporter @baylisswagner.bsky.social shares the first poll numbers (note: from the Dem side) I've seen on #TX23 post-primary:

-42% for GOP nominee Brandon Herrera
-40% for Dem nominee @katy4congress.bsky.social
-18% unsure

-35% have unfavorable views of Herrera, 29% favorable
-sample is Trump +12

🚨NEW #TX23 poll from @HouseMajPAC 🚨 Trump Fav: 45% Trump Unfav: 52% @katy4congress : 40% Brandon Herrera: 42% Herrera Fav: 29% Herrera Unfav: 35% @GinaHinojosaTX : 48% Greg Abbot: 48% @jamestalarico : 48% Cornyn: 42% Talarico: 49% Paxton: 44% 2024 Vote: Trump +12

Yes, this is an internal Democratic poll of #TX23, so take the numbers with a grain of salt. But if these numbers are even close to the truth right now, this race should appear on everyone's map.

Democrats see chance to flip 23rd District with Gonzales out Herrera’s history of brash comments, and the leftward drift of Hispanic voters, has renewed Democrats’ interest in the 23rd Congressional District, which runs from San Antonio to El Paso.

Do not sleep on #TX23 or Democrat Katy Padilla Stout @katy4congress.bsky.social .

It won't be easy, but the batsh*t insane GOP nominee Brandon Herrera gives Democrats a real opening in a wave environment here.

www.texastribune.org/2026/03/12/b...

She is absolutely amazing, and she will make an incredible representative for #TX23!

Seems like the Hispanic shift to the Dems is real AF. It’s only one district, but it was Tr*mp +15 in 2024 👀

#TX23
#TXSen

Given how scandal-ridden the GOP is in #TX23 - and considering their new Hitler-enthusiast presumptive GOP nominee Brandon Herrera - the district is no longer a "safe R" seat.

Good day to follow Dem @katy4congress.bsky.social

#SanAntonio #SATX @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

After threatening legal action against my opponent a few weeks ago, Donald Trump has given him his full and complete endorsement...the people of my district, the Texas 23rd, deserve better – they deserve one of their own. #TX23

My full statement:

These MAGA nutcases belong in insane asylums, not Congress. #TX23 this is not you, right?

Breaking: Trump endorses Brandon Herrera for #TX23 days after Rep. Tony Gonzales, whom Trump previously endorsed, admitted to an affair with a staffer and subsequently dropped his reelection bid.

In 2023— a year after the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde— the bomb squad got called to a store where Brandon Herrera had a campaign rally because an explosive device (thankfully later found to be inactive) was left behind.

How can #TX23 trust Herrera to protect their safety?
