This is where I’ll be tracking who’s running for office, locally and statewide. I’ll update it regularly as new candidates file, drop out, or switch races.
After today, you’ll always find the link to this page at the bottom of each newsletter. Check back periodically to stay current.
I’ve done my best to add websites and social media sites for Democrats when I can find them. I haven’t added links to Republicans and Independents, because this is a partisan newsletter (duh). If you don’t see a website or social media presence for a candidate, it’s because I couldn’t find one, but I’ll keep looking.
Incumbents have an asterisk (*) next to their name. If their name is in bold, they’ve already filed with the party to be on the ballot in the primary race. If I’m missing anyone, misspelling anything, or have a link wrong, just reach out.
Go here for the Senate and Congressional races. I’m sure I’ll get around to the judicial races eventually as well.

Very useful. I know some are already sending out donations letters, but not all. I have not bookmarked on Substack but did save. Someone needs to do a quick lesson on using Substack because people are asking me how to use it.
In HD 73, Dr. Merrie Fox is running against Carrie #&#@&#& Isaac.
She just had her 1st Fox for Texas strategy meeting last Saturday at the Fischer Community Center. 60 folks showed up! Merrie is a retired principal, intelligent, articulate and kind person. She definitely can hold her ground. Please check her out. She will be considered a viable candidate soon.
