Spent the evening in San Antonio talking with Texans about the importance of running for a place on the ballot—from local offices to the State House. If we field a strong candidate for every office, we not only have a much stronger chance of flipping seats down ballot but also at winning statewide.

Just wrapped up another great day of organizing on college campuses. This time at UTSA where we were registering voters, recruiting volunteers, and having real conversations about the future we want for Texas and our country. This is how we win in Texas.

Spent the whole day registering voters, recruiting volunteers, answering questions, and asking to stay in touch with our fellow Texans.

It's tough, challenging work. But it's exactly what we need to be doing if we are going to win power in one of the most voter-suppressed states in America.

In 2018, we swung McLennan County by 22 points from the last Senate race. We did it by showing up again and again, organizing on the ground, building a volunteer army, turning out first time voters, and working with local candidates.
November 3, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Spent the afternoon talking to Texans in Brazos County, which voted for Trump by 25 points. Conventional wisdom says they’re “too red” but we aren’t about to write them off. The only way we can win elections is by being with those who will decide their outcomes.

Great event in McKinney last night as we continue helping to recruit the candidates and volunteers who will ensure that we have the net new Democratic voters necessary to win up and down the ballot.

Some people talk about coattails that flow down from the top of the ticket. But we know that one of the reasons we got so close to winning in 2018 was because of the incredible candidates down ballot who were pushing votes and power up all the way to the top.

Hundreds of people came out last night in Fort Worth to support Taylor Rehmet’s (Nov. 4) special election campaign for TX Senate District 9.

If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects.

That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX.

We beat Paxton again in the 15th Court of Appeals.

Turns out you can’t cancel the First Amendment just because you don’t like what your political opponent is saying.
