Wow. Wayne Thorburn, the former Executive Director of the Texas Republican Party, who literally wrote the book on how the GOP came to dominate Texas politics, has said he voted for James Talarico. Texans of all political backgrounds are coming together to reject Ken Paxton’s corrupt and immoral ways.

The choice for Lieutenant Governor is clear: @VikkiGoodwinTX has a plan to ensure every single Texan has healthcare they can afford, and Dan Patrick doesn't.

NEW POLL: The race for Texas Agriculture Commissioner is a STATISTICAL TIE! The Ultra Wealthy have spent years rigging the system against working Texans, but this race shows we have a real shot at fighting back. Together, we can take back our government and put it to work for everyday Texans, but we need your help to get across the finish line!

While Texas Republicans flood the airwaves and fill your mailbox with culture war hysteria, Texas kids are struggling because Republican leadership has failed them.
A flyer with photos of Dan Patrick, Greg Abbott, and Ken Paxton. It says: "REPUBLICANS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT TEXAS CHILDREN. HERE ARE THE FACTS: Texas has the most uninsured children in the nation (Georgetown University, U.S. and State-by-State Child Health Coverage Trends); Texas ranks 45th in per-student education funding. (National Education Association, Estimates of School Statistics 2026); Texas’ basic allotment has increased by just $55 per student (less than 1%) since 2019. (Texas Education Agency); Greg Abbott VETOED funding to keep low-income kids from going hungry over summer break. (Texas Tribune, Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes funding for federal summer lunch program for low-income children); More than 170 public schools have closed in 3 years. (Houston Chronicle, Why Texas has now seen more than 170 public schools close since 2023)."

YIKES: A new investigation has exposed Governor Abbott’s fake pause on data centers. Since Abbott’s September 21st “pause” on data center permits, his administration has continued to move more than a dozen permits for data centers through the approvals process. Greg Abbott lied to you to protect the industry spending millions to get him reelected.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

This weekend, TDP Chairman @KendallScudder & Rep. Cuellar visited the Welhausen School in Cotulla– the once-segregated school where LBJ began his teaching career. TX Democrats have shown the world what it means to fight for justice & for public schools. We always have, we always will.

.@EugeneDaniels2: Republicans are calling Talarico "Low-T", yet they won't get on a debate stage with Hinojosa or Talarico. Why? TDP Chairman @KendallScudder: "Well it's a whole lot easier to just say those things than to admit you're chicken shit. If I had to defend their record I wouldn't wanna show up on a debate stage either.
