I believe I’m all caught up! But I had to cheat a bit. It’s late and I have a lot to do. I 🙏🏼 people are reading your article. Lord knows I share, share and share.
Continue doing your wonderful work and I will do my best to read most of them thoroughly.
Also sharing! Very useful information for Texas voters, as usual. ❤️ —My husband and I are early voting for sure. My biggest fear, especially now in 2026, is voter suppression tactics and God Knows What Other Machinations the evil Rs will be up to this year to cook the books, especially in the November elections further down the road. Because: Gov. Voldemort. Who is obviously doing everything he can to support The King.
Any one of these candidates would do a great job representing this district. If there was a robust Democratic mobilization organization like the well-oiled machine which just powered Taylor Rehmet to victory, Democrats would blow the Republican out of the water in this district.
This is the utter tragedy of, in my opinion, the amoral abandonment of Texas and other Red states by whoever the powers that be in the Democratic party are. It is one thing for a presidential candidate to play electoral college chess and sacrifice the pawn of Texas to the strategy of the "Blue Wall". It is quite another to abandon all the local offices in Texas to Republicans. What that meant in practice was leaving the people who can least afford to withstand the neglect and disdain of Republican policies without a voice and unprotected in Austin.
Republicans are going to do what they are going to do. They are the ones who have to live with themselves. However, I also fault whoever those shadowy Democratic consultants are who engineered the theory that local politics doesn't matter and therefore, never rebuilt the Democratic Party here after the Republican takeover thirty years ago. Even if we can't run the entire state, we should be in local districts like this holding Republicans' feet to the fire and bringing home the bacon. The mere fact there is a viable Democrat in the race questioning and challenging the Republican's platform forces the Republican to moderate their positions.
Just re-stack this as a note so I can share it. You just summed up all our problems. All of them! Here in Irving folks are calling for a state wide candidate that has zero chance of winning when we have a county race against Democrats that is actually affecting your tax dollars! The absolute corruption of power just shines through.
Every single word in this piece is gold. The 30% turnout can describe the major areas of blue Dallas County that aren’t being worked: Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Mesquite, Garland. Why are the City Council’s all Republican? It isn’t because these cities are filled with Democrats. They are, but they vote in the presidential. But that isn’t enough, we won’t flip this state unless they know and want to vote in May! Course don’t get me started on why Dallas will vote in Nov for municipals but Irving won’t. Thanks for not even acknowledging us certain state senator running for AG.
