Texas Democrats have chosen M.J. Hegar to go up against Senator John Cornyn as the party attempts to win its first statewide election in 26 years. Hegar won the Democratic nomination in the Lone Star State’s runoff election Tuesday with a narrow victory over Royce West. If Hegar is successful in November, her election will mark the first time a liberal has represented the state in Congress since 1994.Music Credit: Bensound/Creativeminds
