So excited about the possibility of flipping the Texas House. Actually I am excited about all the candidates this year. I did learn today that the candidates Early are a father and son, one for Congress and one for State House. What a coup that would be for both to win.

Austin has been amazing. All the DNC members are excited about Texas. First because of our state convention and how we elected so many progressives! Second they love our candidates. I was more excited to meet Tonya Lloyd that seeing some of the stage wide candidates since I see them all the time. But there is really big news. I will call you in the morning.

The Houston delegation is very mad at the Dallas Delegation. They feel like everything is about DFW now. 😛

lol technically, there are more voters in DFW than Houston.

Yup, and now we are all mad at Austin again, so we can be buddies with Harris again.

Thank you for this! I sometimes start to spin when I try to decide where to focus my efforts. Right now I'm focused on small daily action. Postcards, phone banking, making sure I'm donating to campaigns like these. I started a civic co-working group. We meet on thursdays and take action. Its simple and it gets people doing something besides consuming information. This list gives me some great ideas for what to do next.
