“Minorities dominate House Democrats”

AP offers this report, which begins: “Back in the majority, Texas’ Democrats in the House are mostly minorities. The 13 Democrats include six Hispanics and three African Americans. Two of the African Americans are women. Republicans still dominate the delegation, thanks to a redrawing of district boundaries in 2003 that boosted election chances for GOP candidates. But the composition of the Democrats is more reflective of the state population, which officially became a majority minority state in 2005 when minorities made up about 50.2 percent of the population.”
