Who Can Fix the Texas Democratic Party?

Why this Chair race matters more than you think.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/who-can-fix-the-texas-democratic



As we watch the systematic dismantling of democracy unfold in Washington, the stakes for Texas have never been higher. The far-right’s grip on power tightens, voting rights remain under siege, and the erosion of civil liberties accelerates with every passing day. While national politics dominate headlines, the battle for the future of Texas is just as critical.

The next chair of the Texas Democratic Party (TDP) won’t just inherit a political organization. They’ll inherit a fight for the very soul of the state. With Republicans hell-bent on consolidating their control, the job of pushing Texas toward a bluer, more progressive future will require bold leadership, relentless organizing, and a vision strong enough to meet the moment.

The latest TDP Chair forum happened last week in Houston. You can see it below (it starts at about 17 minutes in).

for the fight. It just has the party platform as Kamala ran on it. Given we lost, and that Trump is running roughshod over everything, you might think there would be some mention of retrospective analysis, reformulation study, voter outreach, highlights of what Congressional members and State AG's are doing to fight the flow, on and on and there is nothing. I also looked at Chuck Schumer's web site and was similarly disappointed. I certainly understand that those websites will not be the things turning the tide, but you would think they would link in and show support for the fight and the fighters.
