I had the pleasure of being in Austin this weekend to witness the election of Kendall Scudder. The atmospheric change in the room was palpable. SDEC members, DNC reps and County Chairs stood up and made donations, both gifts and sustaining donations. Money came pouring in.
As a county chair in Randall County, my message to other county chairs is Kendall is not a magician!! We as county chairs must engage our communities and constituents to get out his message. He needs our support as I feel he will give us support back. I challenge all Texas democratic chairs to get busy and get local candidates engaged and elected. Now is the time to find a candidate to challenge Ronny Jackson in CD13 and get him out of office. We have 3 local candidates running for City Council and Amarillo College board of regents. It starts at the local level.
The Potter County Chair and I have been doing this for a year now. Looking back, we realize just how naive and inexperienced we were. We have put together a committee of former candidates, business people and elected officials here in Amarillo to identify potential candidates. We are glad to have this team working with us.
It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get down in the dirt if we are going to make the changes necessary to turn the Texas Democratic Party around. We also need to send a clear message to the Senate DNC to stay out of picking a candidate to run against Cornyn or Paxton if Cornyn is primaried (sp). The senate dems are pushing Allred again and they don’t understand just how despised he is by the county chairs as to how he ignored us and just focused on the Republican base. Let us pick our own candidate then support us.
Finally, thank you for allowing me to rant in your comment section.
