Taylor is the exactly the kind of candidate we need and this election will be like a municipal. Do not listen to the consultants. You can get thousands of voters to come out for this election if you just talk to them. That means when you are in Tarrant County or NW Dallas County, you are very likely to be next to a SD 9 voter. Strike up a conversation! This is a vote that has a huge national impact. Do you want to be a part of it? Every where I go, I talk about 3 things: Irving, Arlington, Ellis County. It is a mantra. I can’t vote for Taylor but I make sure and talk to all of everyone about him.

excellent advice....i am a big proponet of big signs.....win the sign war......people driving past a busy intersection don't know him....big signs.....bigger the better

Totally agree! We want to do this all across CD 6 and SD 22, that is I 35 from Dallas through Tarrant into Ellis all the way to Waco! But signs cost money (a whole lot in Las Colinas, but not as much in Hill County!) but they cost money. I have the amazing graphics designers and can get them coordinated with our red county parties but we need money!

some stat or other said yardsigns only garner 1..5% extra vote.............but hard to argue the beto sign barrage wasn't effective, at least in my zip code

what i am talking about is all those right-of-ways all over a district....some better , much better than others

u got to have a few big sign to compete...so at least 10 or so, to let people know ur in the game

Thank you for highlighting Taylor Rehmet’s Texas senate race. Donated to his campaign today🇺🇸wish I could go block walk for him!

I met and visited with Taylor this week at a fundraiser. Kevin Burge, who is running in the primary to challenge Beth Van Duyne, came to support Taylor. These guys are young. They are union guys. They are serious. It's neat to see these young men who could easily read as "MAGA" running. And I am so happy they are stepping up. I believe they have the same campaign manager.

Taylor does need financial support. The dark money donors are going to be pouring money into the race. Hopefully Wambangass and Huffman will be beating each other up in this jungle primary and split the Republican vote. Because it is a primary pitting Republican v. Republican and one Democrat, it gives us a better chance to win with 51%. So, that is a good thing for Taylor.

But our challenge is reaching the youth and the young working families. I think the energy is there to punish Republicans, but the timeline is short and it is going to be hard just to make voters aware. Plans are afoot for block-walking and phone-banking.🤞

PS - It's not great news that the state is way behind on processing voter registration applications due to software issues.

we cannot possibly know who or what are the candidates ...that is the big time job of your county party

and if they have events...cause u can't know their contacts or if they use SM or emails or snail mail cause u have never heard of them .......

.........then thats another big big ta -do for the county party...

in our case i would count that as a success if my county party could manage to do that little thing...they can't or won't

if they don't do this, alaTarrant, or they don't have a county party or chair then is is TDP's job which they refuse to do

its is not voters job to investigate whose running and what events are they having

From KMA's website pic gallery....he seems to be a candidate for black CD-12

why are all these people so clueless?

u got a district KMA, a red district with alot of white people....alot more whites than FTW and Tarrant county.............so u post pics of u with white people, a few brown people, fewer blacks

this is red north texas not houston

since i can't actually contact heli....no place for that on her web....and i do FB only not other SM

perhaps someone tell her she wrote....."Why did you decide to run for this office in 2024? Why are you seeking this position?

I decided to run for the U.S. Senate because we need 60 Democratic votes to get anything done in Washington. And because the Democratic party in Texas hasn't won a statewide race in over three decades,"

i thought she is running for CD-12?????????????????

Heli doesn't have a FB icon on her website...i ain't gonna google so does is she have a FB presence

WTF Heli,,,,,,,60% of voters are seniors and do FB and not the other SM's..

why do they shoot themselves in the foot at the starting block gang?

ps; u guessed it....this is the kind of advice a seasoned political machine, say TCDP, TDP would advise. they of course are not and do not. whatever piss-ant audience Allison and Kendoll have on their email list, they should have sent that out.

if Heli's team is not so pissed off at me that they refuse my advice, i suggest this:

put a big honking sign at the corner of hulen and bellaire...and when an R sticks a sign in front of ur's put a bigger sign in front of theirs

Michelle H. Davis's avatar

Do you have a link that says 60% of voters and seniors on FB? I thought most people left after Zuckerberg’s fascist alignment.

looks reliable but in the AI age, who knows- they site AARP but i didn't scroll down to find the exact study

https://www.marketingcharts.com/demographics-and-audiences/boomers-and-older-228353

'Among these Americans, unlike their younger counterparts, Facebook remains the most-used platform. Some 71% of respondents ages 50 and older reported using Facebook, up from 68% a year earlier."

Every first-time candidate feels doubt. The difference is pushing through it and remembering why you’re running. The truth is, the people who should be in office are often the ones who hesitate, while those who have no business governing jump in with complete confidence. Don’t let that hold you back. Your community needs authenticity.

Stay rooted in "why" you're running and connect it to what your community is going through.

100%, I think you should totally go for it. Between you and me, everyone feels like that deep down, it's really all just a matter of swallowing it and stepping out of your comfort zone sometimes.
