This is a message that needs to be adopted and acted on by the Texas Democratic Party. Only at a state level is there the kind of reach and insight into all the red districts. And the party needs to have something to offer potential candidates in those areas. Recruitment needs to come with training and some fundraising help, all in coordination with the local (county) party.

In 2020 the Georgia Democratic Party had a program to contest every state representative and every state senate race. They beat the bushes to find people and then got them some help. My son ran in a bright red district with no real expectation of winning, but he made appearances and undoubtedly had some impact on who voted. And what was the result? Biden won Georgia by 11,780 votes.

100% agree, although who the hell knows what the state party is doing? I wish they would get their act together.
