Democrats hope to flip a House seat in the diversifying and growing Houston suburbs as they target Texas in the 2020 election.

Why the Houston suburbs look more blue

About 60% of the district's population was White last year, while roughly 27% identified as Hispanic or Latino, according to Census data. More than 14% of the district's residents were Black. Asian Americans are generally considered more likely to support Democrats than Republicans now, but that was not always the case. Jones said fiscal conservatism among the bloc, and anti-communist sentiment among Vietnamese Americans in particular, have helped Republicans in Texas.

Kulkarni, the son of an Indian immigrant himself, aims to win in no small part by boosting turnout among Asian Americans in the district. In February,Meanwhile, the district's median income jumped above $100,000 in 2019 from just under $70,000 a decade earlier. More than 43% of residents older than 25 had bachelor's or advanced degrees last year, up from about 33% in 2009.

The district includes most of Fort Bend County, one of the more populous in the state. Nehls has won two previous countywide elections.
