Thank you Michelle- I love this series highlighting good Dems.

I want to ask you to look at Kimmie Ellison running in HD49. She’s a nurse practitioner- a great NP I’ve referred patients to for years- doing breast cancer care for the only clinic that works with the uninsured breast cancer patients of Austin.

Being a good clinician and an ardent and ethical person is not the same as being a good candidate, but it’s a damn good start. I’d like to know more about the HD49 race.

I would like to hear her platform outlined-as you are so artfully doing with Texas candidates.

Please give us the Tea🫖☕️

Ok. I'll reach out to her. I'm getting the candidates to answer questions first, "in their own words," so we get a good idea of who they are.

Thanks, Michelle. Good info! I read & shared this on Bsky earlier, but forgot to comment.

It will depend if Burge is just going to spend $ or actually knocking on doors and helping making infrastructure. CD 24 has basically no precinct chairs and no one knocking on doors or working on getting out the vote. So do I think Burge can flip it? Probably not. But in 2028 if Burge actually works, and doesn’t just pack up his bags, the maybe in 2028.

65% of dallas portion of cd 24 have precinct chairs. 25% filled in our portion of tarrant. We will work with anyone to grow infrastructure in Tarrant! Lezgo!
