1 my district plus number, political party of the senate
My district is Dallas
The political party of the senate is a republican (Senate Bob Hall)
2 how does your district look like (population, age, education, employment, election results
The district has a population count of approximately 1.318 million people in total. The
population constitutes a mixture of different races that is to say, the Hispanics also known as
Latinos, the African Americans, whites and the Asians among others. The composition indicates
that the whites are the biggest percentage of the population followed by the Latinos and others.
Age; Dallas has an average age composition of approximately 32.5. In regard to the age group,
25 to 34 years of age takes the highest percentage followed by 45 to 54 years of age.

education; is the leading provider of education in the south central region of the united states
and it consists of many colleges, universities, vocational schools among others (U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics).
Employment statistics; according to the U.S bureau of labor statistics, Dallas has
unemployment rate of 3.6%. This implies that the level of unemployment is not so alarming
although there is need for more effort in job creation (Barragán).
Election results;
The implication of the demographic information/ possible issues that may arise
The race composition of Dallas indicates a high likeliness of race discrimination. This is due to
the prevalence of many mixed races in the district who in most cases may not work and associate
collectively. Cases of discrimination have been reported, where African Americans and the
Latinos are limited from voting (Pearson). This case was sanctioned by the minority lawmakers
and the civil rights group at the federal court in Washington. In other words, there are issues of
minority oppression resulting from the demographic composition of the district, which in turn
may also lead to insecurity in the district. However, on the other hand, high educations and
favorable social economic state of the individuals is also expected basing on the demographic
data (Owe 300)
Is the district gerrymandered?
yes
Platform and part politics

It is substantially important being an opportunity democrat. This is because I believe in the fair
treatment of all groups of people in the district. Cases of segregation and discrimination are not
recommendable as per my perspective. I second some of the issues like environmental
protection, the state’s involvement in the global market, immigration rules, and regulations,
among others

Considering the demographic data of Dallas and the survey that I conducted being a democrat
would absolutely work for me. Running for Texas House of Representatives would see my
opinion directed towards the following issues (what my ideas diverge from);
 The unfairness in the distribution of benefits among the population, that is to say, among
the whites/ Americans and the non-Americans
 The representation of the minority group at the times of voting (limitation imposed on the
minority group)
 The need for the amendments of immigration laws, rules, and regulations.
These issues would absolutely render me democrat candidate
