| 词条 | Texas Six Pack |
| 释义 |
The Texas Six Pack was a group of six freshmen Republican congressmen from Texas who were elected during the 1984 Ronald Reagan landslide victory over Walter Mondale. With their victories the Texas congressional delegation shifted from a 21-6 Democratic advantage to only 17-10. Several of the six new congressmen would go on to long and powerful careers in Washington. Beau Boulter, Mac Sweeney and Dick Armey upset three incumbent Democratic congressmen. Larry Combest won an open seat being vacated by retiring Democrat, later Republican Kent Hance, while Joe Barton and Tom DeLay won seats vacated by retiring Republicans Phil Gramm and Ron Paul, respectively. For Sweeney, Combest, and Armey it was the first time their districts had ever elected a Republican to congress. Boulter relinquished his seat after two terms to wage an unsuccessful race against U.S. Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen, who ran the same year for Vice President of the United States. {{Election box begin no change| title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 6 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Joe Barton |votes = 179,493 |percentage = 56.7{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Dan Kubiak |votes = 100,799 |percentage = 43.4{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 13 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Beau Boulter |votes = 107,600 |percentage = 53{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Jack Hightower (Inc) |votes = 95,367 |percentage = 47{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 14 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Mac Sweeney |votes = 104,181 |percentage = 51.3{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Bill Patman (Inc) |votes = 98,885 |percentage = 48.7{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 19 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Larry Combest |votes = 102,805 |percentage = 58.1{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Don Richards |votes = 74,044 |percentage = 41.9{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 22 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Tom DeLay |votes = 125,225 |percentage = 65.3{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Doug Williams |votes = 66,495 |percentage = 34.7{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= 1984 U.S. House Texas Congressional District 26 Election.}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Dick Armey |votes = 126,641 |percentage = 51.3{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Tom Vandergriff (Inc) |votes = 120,641 |percentage = 48.7{{Election box end}} References
