I was surprised to learn Marc Veasey filed to run as County Judge in Tarrant County. Good move I guess.

He won't win. Alisa Simmons is widely loved.

I do love her. County Judge and Commissioners are specialized, technical offices. Alisa has a lot of experience. It looks like Veasey made his decision just moments before filing to run. I do like O'Hare drawing two good Democrats though.

Ok I did not hear she was running for the same position. Not sure how I missed that.

No it sucks, it all sucks.

Too many good democrats fighting for the same seats. This could have been handled way way better.

Marc Veasey isn't a good Dem. He was on my list of "Democrats Who Should Be Primaried" before this. IJS.

I am just going to keep going. It sucks. That is all I can say. I will work my ass off to recruit precinct chairs now.

I have been trying to do that for a couple of years off and on, not as vigorously as you I am sure, but it is tough all around. The redraw helped for my precinct. As it was rather spaced out and large, the CD redraw split mine in half. Much easier to manage.

Thank you Kendall Scudder! This is all HIM! He pledged to do this and he did. Now onto all the precinct chairs. I have been commenting on every single national pundit who are cheering on Jasmine Crockett, great but how about if cannot vote here then send money to the Texas Democratic Party so we can ensure a Democrat wins the senate race. Over and over. Just like you, I am leaving the senate race alone. Don’t get me started on CD 33. It is already a blood bath. CD 33 is 74% Latina. Also only 8 precincts in Irving are in it, so yes, Julie did represent them, but most of her 115 is now in 6 or 24, so it isn’t going to help much. Also, while not the majority of our Muslim voters but a big chunk. And I was already worried about Talarico and Allred in Irving. But Valley Ranch didn’t care about casinos which is hurting Talarico. What they really are upset about is AIPAC. So could get very very interesting.

What about the judicial races? We cant just avoid them. They are also to blame and contribute feeding onto this.

I know. And I did say I would track them. Now that the final deadline has passed, it will be easier. I have not forgotten about them. Did we get a candidate in every judicial seat? I don't know the answer to that. I'll find out for sure tomorrow, and I'll start working on the list.

Sorry! Didnt mean to say you arent tracking them! I just hope we can finally purge some of these federalist hacks in Texas because the judiciary has made it miserable in Texas

No, it's okay. I just know I've been pushing it off, but I will get to it before the world rains acorns. 😉
