Shouldn't have to be said but yes – given that let-republicans-win-bc=we're-miffed was apparently a thing in 2024, #Texas Democrats must understand the choice: A) vote for the Democrat B) let the republican win. ➡️Don't ignore down-ballot; republicans want you to. Follow and read @lonestarleft.com

#Texas HD49 Kimmie Ellison Montserrat Garibay Gigs Hodges Robin Lerner Josh Reyna Sam Slade Kathie Tovo Daniel Wang "What voters here are really choosing is what kind of Democrat they want representing one of the most progressive districts in the state."

When a safe blue seat becomes an ideological test.

Why Alisa Simmons is the leader Tarrant County needs now.

"...because they show up for their district, their constituents, and their down-ballot candidates, that somehow absolves them of negative criticism for their votes in office. We don’t elect people to Congress so they can cut ribbons or pose for selfies at community events.

Excellent read that dispels Some myths - with data.

TX33, establishment power, and the limits of Democratic accountability.

Public schools, rent pressure, and a gerrymandered seat.

Agree. Thanks for the Texas numbers. Chasing rural voters in Texas is like chasing 'moderate' Republicans at the national level - the #ThirdWay. It only worked for Bill Clinton. Appealling to the right only loses Dem votes by ignoring their personal concerns. Kamala lost over 6 million Dem votes

"If Democrats want to win Texas, the work is not in chasing an imaginary rural wave. It’s in turning out the millions of voters who already live in urban and metro counties, shoring up suburban margins, and investing seriously in places where Democratic voters

Why chasing rural votes won’t flip Texas.

“Above all, a democratic Texas government would stop punishing people for being poor, different, or outspoken, and start using public power to make everyday life more secure, more affordable, and more dignified. This is not radical. It is the basic function of democratic…” ~ @lonestarleft.com

On power, pluralism, and a stolen democracy.

Texas is closer than they want you to think.

More great work from Michelle..We can do this.

Fourteen seats between us and reality.

And there goes Veasey. Bye. And thanks.

Who’s safe, who’s flippable, and who needs a miracle?

They do everything bigger in Texas: especially torturing, abusing and mistreating immigrants and asylum seekers. For Texans it's a sort of amusement. kfoxtv.com/news/local/h...

Democratic endorsements should be earned, not owed.

Giddyup, y'all! Let's F-in go, Texas!

#Texas Democratic primaries: Part Two We're lucky to have Michelle research and write these overviews for us, with focuses on each race to come in the future!

Whew there's a bunch o' Dems in #Texas 's statewide races. Thank you, Michelle.

Your guide to every down-ballot primary that matters.

"The only other thing I’m going to say about [the US Senate] race for now is that there are a lot of people who don’t live in Texas who have opinions about Texas politics, and most of them are wrong." Michelle @lonestarleft.com thank you!!

Americans deserve a choice of candidates and competitive elections. Texas Dems organized and made it happen❣️ TX pols who gerrymander at Trump’s order try to reduce our choices and are destroying our democracy. Kudos to Texas Dems for providing every voter a choice. Now do your job, Texas voters!!

Hey, how about some great news! It's been a long time since Texas Dems contested every single seat at the federal, statewide, and state legislative races. But they did it... and we should be so proud of them for getting it done as a team. And you can still become a precinct chair in your county.

#TXleg #TX “I am unfollowing Katherine Culbert on…all of it, and I strongly encourage everyone who cares about transparency and integrity in Texas politics to do the same. If someone chooses corruption, opportunism, and MAGA politics, that’s their call. But we get to choose too” ~ @lonestarleft.com

This is good. A Dem on every line. You can't win 'em if you don't run 'em. (Also a really underrated accomplishment for a state party)

Because apparently integrity is optional now.

💯 to this!!!! “Precinct chairs are the ground troops of democracy, the people who actually knock doors, register voters, track down the missing Democrats in their neighborhood, and build the muscle memory of turnout.” Look up your precinct chair and offer to help! Don’t have one, then SIGN UP!!!

Hot Damn. "Texas Democrats did something this cycle we haven’t done in a long damn time. We showed up everywhere. Every district. Every ballot line. Every race Republicans thought they had wrapped with a bow before the filing period even opened. And now the work begins."

Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

BREAKTHROUGH UPDATE from @lonestarleft.com. We got a Democratic candidate here in HD88 in Heather Wallace! Learn more here. #txlege #TexasFilingDeadline www.lonestarleft.com/p/who-will-b...

Texans! As of now, it is officially Monday, December 8th as I repost - and the filing deadline to run for office is 6pm tonight. It's not too late to file... I hope we get a full slate of Dems to run (federal, statewide, judicial, local, county) and primary incumbent DINOs. If that's you, run!

Great reporting on Texas politics.

A Conservative wrote this Medium article about me. I don’t know who this person is, but someone just sent it to me. I thought it was very nice. 💙
