Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D), received 71% of the vote in her re-election to represent the 29th Congressional District. “They actually filed a lawsuit against the county judge for saying he wanted to shut down parts of his county," Garcia said, referring to State Attorney General Ken Paxton’s successful effort to halt the shutdown of El Paso non-essential businesses. TxDOT is once again implementing its “Click it or Ticket” campaign during the holiday season to get more Texans to buckle up.
