Incumbent Republican Matt Shaheen faces Democrat challenger David Carstens.
Incumbent Republican Matt Shaheen and Democrat challenger David W. Carstens are both fit for office. But our nod goes to Shaheen because of his experience and his track record as a serious lawmaker. We know him to be a conservative who is exactly who he says he is.If we thought any less of Shaheen, 59, we would recommend Carstens, 26. Though young and inexperienced, he came to our interview prepared to articulate thoughtful policy ideas.
On the border, Shaheen cited concerns with sex trafficking and fentanyl coming into our state. “We’re getting crushed by the border,” he said. Shaheen said Texas needs to continue investing in border security until the federal government steps up. Shaheen has been involved in passing legislation we disagree with, like the READER Act that requires vendors to rate book titles for sexual content and prevents those books from being sold to school districts.But no one can doubt the depth of Shaheen’s experience and his ability to represent his district well. Carstens is a good candidate, but voters should reelect Shaheen.Dallas Morning News editorials are written by the paper's Editorial Board and serve as the voice and view of the paper.
