Income changes- who’s affected?
The republican party will have a gain from the income changes that Texas has had. As family income rises, so does the tendency to vote Republican (Joyner, 2007). As the states economy gradually diversified and the suburb grew, people migrated to Texas from other states, the natural Republican base in the state grew (Texas Politics). In the 2016 election, Donald Trump won with the Republican votes in Texas. 52.2% of voters that voted were Republican ("Texas Election Results 2016.”). At this time, the state of Texas continues to have a rise in income along with the Republican party in control.
