However District 18 is still blue. The bigger issue is District 9- Al Green's district- which he was drawn out of. So he has indicated that he will run for the District 18 seat in the next election cycle. So we are probably going to lose the District 9 blue seat. District 18 is blue and looks to remain that way.
