The Dallas Mornings News recommends Democrat Tonya Holt for the 401st District Court over former Collin County Republican Chairman George Flint.

"A corporate counsel and consultant, Holt, 52, has worked in general civil litigation, employment and labor law, consumer law, wills and estates; was a lawyer for the state of Texas early in her career; and operated her own law firm... We tip toward Holt over Flint, whose time in the highly partisan role of county party chairman gives us some pause."

Rep. Colin Allred and Democratic representatives on September 17 passed a resolution to denounce anti-Asian racism. Collin County Republican Rep. Van Taylor voted against the resolution. Challenging Taylor in November is Lebanese-American attorney Lulu Seikaly. Seikaly was recently endorsed by resolution author and DNC Vice Chair Rep. Grace Meng.

Resolved, That the House of Representatives-

(1) calls on all public officials to condemn and denounce any and all anti-Asian sentiment in any form;

(2) recognizes that the health and safety of all Americans, no matter their background, must be of utmost priority;

(3) condemns all manifestations of expressions of racism, xenophobia, discrimination, anti-Asian sentiment, scapegoating, and ethnic or religious intolerance;

(4) calls on Federal law enforcement officials, working with State and local official-

(A) to expeditiously investigate and document all credible reports of hate crimes and incidents and threats against the Asian-American community in the United States;

(B) to collect data to document the rise of incidences of hate crimes due to COVID–19; and

(C) to hold the perpetrators of those crimes, incidents, or threats accountable and bring such perpetrators to justice; and

(5) recommits United States leadership in building more inclusive, diverse, and tolerant societies-

(A) to prioritize language access and inclusivity in communication practices; and

(B) to combat misinformation and discrimination that put Asian Americans at risk.

The members of the coalition include the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, the group led by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee. Also involved are the Future Now Fund, The People PAC and The Creative Resistance.
