A congressman who has launched a longshot bid to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is generating excitement for Democrats voting in the Texas primary election.
Voting Tuesday morning in Dallas, 64-year-old Bonnie Kobilansky said she thinks Beto O'Rourke is "a good guy" and was excited to cast her vote for him.
She says she wants to see change in the government, adding "that starts at the local level, the state level."
Twenty-seven-year-old Katie Newsome, a United Methodist pastor, says she's excited for the "freshness" and "vision" O'Rourke brings. She says she wants to see change both in the U.S. and in Texas, too.
