Everyone in my neck of the woods keeps asking: what happened to Mike Jackson? How does a sitting State Senator not make the runoff in a new district? One in which he was favored by every pundit and poll? Well, the short answer is: the Harris County strategy didn’t work. In fact, only about 34{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of the vote total came from Harris County. If you look at the overall totals, Mike easily won Harris County but that is about it.
