When Democrats Turn Out

Hello,

Today, we’re proud to spotlight our choice to represent Texas’s 24th Congressional District, Candace Valenzuela.

When Democrats Turn Out endorses Candace Valenzuela, Democratic candidate for Texas's 24th Congressional District

Candace will be a fierce advocate for Texas families and believes strongly in the power of a good education, affordable health care, and adequate housing for all. If elected, she would be the first Black Latina in the U.S. Congress.

A childhood of poverty and homelessness helped shape Candace’s progressive values. She overcame this adversity to become a respected educator and, since 2017, a member of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District Board.

Her advocacy for working Texans has earned Candace the endorsements of Democratic leaders such as Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, former 2020 presidential candidate Julián Castro, and Representatives John Lewis, Katie Porter, and Ayanna Pressley.

The race for Texas’s 24th Congressional District is wide open, as long-time GOP incumbent Kenny Marchant is stepping down. Candace is currently locked in a fierce runoff -- and in the general election Candace will face Beth Van Duyne, a GOP candidate endorsed by Donald Trump.

This is a key battleground district that Democrats are looking to flip blue. That’s why -- if you care about reversing the worst of the damage the GOP has done to our country -- we’re urging you to support Candace and our efforts to elect Democrats up and down the ballot across the country. Will you give anything, even just $5, today?

Thank you for taking a stand.
