Going over tomorrow to volunteer.
Kendall Scudder (new chair Texas Democratic Party) - you rock!
I live in deep deep ruby red Guadalupe County. I may be wrong but I think all three city councils are Republican controlled as well as the School Board! These cities are Schertz, Selma and Cibolo. All bedroom communities for San Antonio and Austin.

My oncologist is having a sad. Her and her husband have heavily invested in a new cancer clinic. tRump voters now paying the price of voting for tariffs, (lumber and steel) and labor shortages.
Don't tell me to dump her, I think I owe my life to her.

My husband and I were talking last night and we both agree hard times are coming.

Democrats are beginning to stand up. Where are the Republicans? Is defying the Supreme Court a red line for them? Sending an innocent man to a hell hole prison for the rest of his life sure wasnt.

(23,194 posts)He spoke at the Cowtown Democrats meeting on Tuesday night. Full room of folks from all over came to check out the new State Party Chair. He did not disappoint!
His enthusiasm and more broad spectrum plans for the party really made a big hit with the crowd. I have me him a few times and was really hoping he would win that vote.
He offers Energy and determination. I think we are coming into a change in the Texas Party.
