Our work is only just beginning. It’s time to bring stability and expertise to the Comptroller’s office. Thank you to the supporters, volunteers, staff, candidates, clubs, grassroots organizers, and Democrats across the state who made this possible. Now let’s get shit done.

I'll be honest, when I talked w/ @SarahEckhardtTX in February about her bid for Texas comptroller—a sneaky powerful statewide post—I think she'd win. But alas, we delved into what she'd do with the office: take it back to its Bob Bullockian roots. texasobserver.org/sarah-eckh…

Sarah Eckhardt Wants to Return the Texas Comptroller to the Bob Bullock Era 

The Democratic candidate hopes to bring the statewide accountant’s office back to its rightful role—independently enforcing good government.

It's hard to explain in 280 characters but Don Huffines as Comptroller would have had a nuclear bomb at his disposal to destroy the State of Texas as we know it.

Underdiscussed, but I don't think we realize just how big a bullet we dodged with Sarah Eckhardt winning because Don Huffines, even in the few short months he has been Comptroller, it has been complete chaos and just one disaster after another.

Texas will now have a State Comptroller who spent the 80s doing theatre in New York with David Mamet, a State Attorney General who composed soundtracks for Dragon Ball Z and a US Congressman who is a famed Tejano musician. What other trivia we got?

I feel like we all got drunk on champagne (and Martinelli's) and danced for hours to Springsteen and Jimmy Dale Gilmore til we finally had to crash. And woke up and it was all true!!!! We didn't dream it. You cut off the head of the snake; saved the soul of America. Well done!

Remember when all the Big Tech, Wall Street, Big Law, media, and universities bent the knee to Trump? That was less than two years ago.
