Mapping the Future: Texas Redistricting Chaos & Grijalva’s Landslide Win in Arizona
Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid break down the shocking Arizona special election - that wasn’t so shocking to anyone paying attention. Adelita Grijalva didn’t just win — she crushed her competition — despite the hype around viral social media candidates. What does her landslide win say about the myth of the “progressive takeover”?
Our hosts also take you deep into Texas, where a mid-decade redistricting power grab could unravel the GOP — and maybe the courts. Chuck drops precinct-level knowledge on Houston and Dallas districts (by literally drawing them out with his fists), while Mike sounds the alarm on how 'opening pandora's box' could backfire spectacularly.
Plus: California’s own battle lines, DC drama in Ward 8, and a close look at the key 2026 battleground in California’s Central Valley. Don’t miss this one.
