I am in R+24 district and it looks like my district is basically the same. However, they are targeting Congressman Al Green

In the Houston area, the proposed map would remake four Democratic districts. The biggest upheaval would be in the 9th Congressional District, a majority-minority seat represented by Rep. Al Green that currently covers the southern part of Harris County and its direct southern neighbors. It would shift to the eastern parts of Houston, where no current member of Congress lives. Instead of being a seat that Vice President Kamala Harris won by 44 percent under the current boundary, Trump would have won it by 15 percent.

I have known Al since I moved to Fort Bend back in 2007. Al's district used to include a part of Fort Bend and Al was active in county politics. Al actually introduced me to John Lewis as a civil rights attorney a long ago. Al has evidently pissed off the GOP assholes and his district is basically gone.
