I’ve recently become a county chair and I’m working hard to learn my job and implement what I have learned. Are you helping or asking for an appointment in your county or to help your chairs or just posting snarky comments? LSL has provided great statistical info and is giving us an avenue to connect with others.

I can feel you frustration. I’m feeling it right now. I have gotten numerous people engaged and involved as well as a few groups set up for meetings next week. I’m just having problems getting TDP to respond to me. I requested the appointment. I can’t even get the chair resource manual so I can see what my responsibilities are and learn my job. I’m in Randall County. Amarillo is split between 2counties, Randall and Potter. In Potter County in the primary we had a guy running to primary the current chair. He is a known Republican and last yr was the vice chair for the county Republican Party. Thankfully he was defeated by 80% and for this reason I saw Randall as vulnerable and didn’t want this to happen here. That’s why I asked for the appointment. It’s very sad at the lack of chairs in the26 counties in the panhandle. Dems here feel abandoned. Honestly I haven’t thought about posting on here for the reasons you have given but what you are saying is a great suggestion. Thank you for that.
About TDP i haven't got a clue..MD should know alot. I was ED in Hays County for a soon to be State Chair.......He was a lawyer and was absent from Hays County during the entire GOTV. The idea was he would bring Tobacco settlement money to both the county and state parties...He didn't and brought no political or organizing skills either...that was how we used to pick leadership....how much money can they deliver......we also haven't won a state wide race since.....98, maybe earlier...so that model didn't work.
Randall/Potter..that's a tuff gig.....you have my respect and good wishes..... I went to TTU..that's about halfway between FTW and Amarillo. LOL.
What County? I hope u post here often cause i don't think any others do...
As regards Tarrant County.....i have pushed and prodded them.........i was credited or blamed for the last chair quitting but actually it was MD's articles here that i thought did the trick...We have had 3 selected Chairs meaning they were put in place by the EC and Pct chairs so it always goes to an insider. We have a $350,000 budget most years but our current chair has made the entire enterprise opaque as all get out so i couldn't tell u how much we have now....My pct has a chair and as had the same one for years...I have never heard from her.....As a guy who had the only candidate signs up in my entire Zip code I have yet to hear anything from the CD 12 candidate....whose sign i had up in 2022.......As regards to our current chair, a lawyer BTW, i offered to fund and organize a HC project . She told me to drop dead.
We have 2 corporate types and 1 lawyer....none could sell a popsicle in the Sahara. What they all have in common is they won't reach to out voters...and can't find quality candidates.....What they have managed to do is turn FTW from blue to red......
What is needed need is a sales and marketing type as Chair, not a bureaucrat to come in and rearrange the deck chairs...again. Finally our communications team is gone , pushed out or quit. who knows?
There is one group, NW Tarrant Progressives who are doing stuff, so they need to be commended. A group or individual did host one Happy Hour 4-5 months.....so more of that TCDP if anyone is listening.
If you will note, the Soros/Beto alum group is not targeting Tarrant County. I assume having written us off.
I have contacted many other counties about LSL...far flung counties that get ignored......I know what that feels like even in the middle of FTW...............
I make the argument that our County Chair , as the only county wide elected Dem, needs to speak for all Dems...letters to the Editor, articles by political reporters , rebuttals to our heavily conservative loaded local opinion columnists.....so far silence from Sais. Our R opponents have no problem getting press.
a little friday laginape to boil the blood....Straus is jewish....Dunn runs Texas.
"Former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said on Thursday that Midland oil magnate Tim Dunn, one of the state’s most powerful and influential GOP megadonors, once told him that only Christians should hold leadership positions in the lower chamber."
