So TJ Ware finally changed parties? He showed up to several democrats parties and we were all uh, dude you sure you are in the right party? Maybe he was just trying to find stuff about Beth. Well now this is great, let’s go Nathan Hawks! Not they TJ was ever a real threat.

So now Danny Minton isn’t running for CD 6 and of course another person has filed for CD 6 that has never talked to CD 6 Dem leaders including me and Kelly and Jennifer. We are the backbone on the Dems for CD and for anyone to run without even introducing themselves to us is absolutely ridiculous. I had a huge event last night in Irving, and if you are running for CD 6 you should have come. Every single country chair in CD 6 knew I was having a national speaking and we had people from 6 counties and even a candidate from San Antonio come. Irving, no matter how we are gerrymandered is the democratic base of CD 6. We have the most dems, but no one talks to them (oh expect me). So if you are running for CD 6 at least reach out the county chairs and our SDEC committee woman. All of the would said, you need to take to Liza. As the National Delegate, I know this district and what we need and how to win and that starts in Irving. So to skip my event without reaching out is not ok. All the Tarrant County Young Dems were there as well as our SDEC committee woman for CD 24. I don’t expect Jennifer to come because she is so far away. But she is not a candidate and in the new maps not even part of CD 6.

big issue if TC does something with it......the likelihood of that is very unhealty

from CNBC: "More than 22 million people — about 92% of ACA enrollees — received a federal subsidy this year that reduced their insurance premiums, according to KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.

Those recipients would see a “sharp premium increase” on Jan. 1, Cynthia Cox, the group’s ACA program director, said during a webinar Wednesday."

Big Bad Bill cancels that premium assistance

Something subtle here that I almost missed. Joaquin Castro has filed for re-election?????

No, if you missed the note at the top, NO Congressperson has filed for re-election yet. So, as they do, I will either BOLD them for running for re-election, or strike them out for NOT.

Maybe, I'll separate that to make it more straightforward.

I did miss that. In a hurry. I thought you were only listing them if they had filed. Who looks for instruction, apparently not me.

That's what I did with the state races, because plenty of them have already refiled. However, since no one has refiled for these races yet, I reconsidered that, as I know many people know their congressional representatives by name rather than by district.

Did I make it too confusing? Sorry. 😭😭
