Fort Worth's power crisis: How Texas' blue wave cost the city clout in Washington | Opinion

The city’s loss of a major pro golf tournament shown in 30 languages across 200 countries made the biggest local headline last week. But once the shock of a wave election settled down, it became clear that Fort Worth also has lost its seat at the table in Washington. Fort Worth has been a Democratic city for more than 30 years, but with powerful Republicans in Congress and the Texas House. Now, it’s a Democratic city in a Democratic county, but it’s still represented by Republicans in a Democratic U.S. House. Thanks to the White House-ordered redraw of the Texas election map, the city is shackled by partisan Republican maps. Fort Worth will not have a Democrat or any say-so at all with the new majority party controlling the U.S. House. Democratic U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey’s district was eliminated. Instead, Republican mapmakers gave an extra GOP seat to north Dallas County and East Texas. Instead of Veasey and his 14 years of experience, the only House Democrat speaking for Tarrant County will be freshman Dallas Democrat Freddy Haynes. His district barely

Ginger Rogers got her start in Texas
Fourteen year old Ginger Rogers danced circles around the competition at the Baker Hotel in Dallas on Nov. 9, 1925 to win first place in the state Charleston contest. Virginia Katherine McMath was born in Independence, Missouri – Harry Truman’s hometown – but like most “naturalized” Texans came to the Lone Star State just as soon as she could. In the case of Ginger, a nickname from a cousin who could not pronounce “Virginia,” it was in 1922 at the age of 11 that she moved to Fort Worth with her mother and stepfather, John Rogers.
