**HD 37**

South Texas Strong PAC sent texts to HD 37 residents last week criticizing Rep. Janie Lopez for not signing onto the Contract with Texas, an open letter written in April that outlines demands for the next House Speaker. The Associated Republicans of Texas responded with texts to HD 37 residents supporting Lopez and highlighting her endorsement from Gov. Greg Abbott. We’ve rated the race as Lean Republican.
