• Kellee Speakman, a conservative elementary school teacher, moved from California to Texas in 2022 but returned after four and a half months due to Texas’s political obsession and unexpected living costs.
  • Speakman found Texas to be not much cheaper than California, with high property taxes, expensive services, and lower wages, which contributed to her dissatisfaction.
  • She returned to California, appreciating its lifestyle, public lands, and better teacher benefits, realizing that her idea of freedom involved peace and everyday adventures rather than political rhetoric.

      Dallas is pretty blue right now as well. Would I say “left-wing”? No, but I doubt the average Dallas resident is feeling that happy with people like Trump, Cruz or Abbott.

        Same with most of Harris county.

        East Texas was spot on, though.
