We are on the course towards a generational transformation in Texas politics, friend. And yes, that sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
You can feel it at events. You can hear it in conversations at the doors. You can see it on the lists of new volunteer sign-ups that come from Young Dems and local party meetings across the state.
There is palpable momentum, and thank goodness for that because we’re chasing two important deadlines in a matter of weeks:
- Saturday, January 31, is Taylor Rehmet’s Special Election to flip a seat blue in Tarrant County
- Monday, February 2, is the FINAL DAY to register to vote for the upcoming primary in March.
So you can imagine we’re busy around here! And we could use some help making sure we’re getting it done before the end of the month. Can we count on you before the Special Election Day?
Our organizing team is devoting all of our time, talent, and resources to registering brand new voters. We can stretch your $25 contribution very far this time of the year because it’ll go toward organizing activities like:
- Talking to high school seniors who might have turned 18 and don’t know how to register
- Helping senior citizens with their vote-by-mail ballots
- Having conversations about voting plans. These convos are so everyone knows where and when they’re going to vote — make sure to double check with your friends!
You might be like: Hey Katy, talking to people about voting is free for me. Why would all of that cost money for y’all?
And, honestly, it’s a good question. I, along with dozens of other organizing leaders across Texas, train hundreds of volunteers, precinct captains, and campus organizers on research-based tactics on how to have these conversations respectfully, effectively, and efficiently across all age ranges from gen alpha to our elders. We even print out materials in multiple languages to help our immigrant neighbors understand the voting process.
All of these things do cost a pretty penny! When every $10 donation pays for 20 vote-by-mail applications to Texas Democrats over age 65, just think about what $25 from even just a few dozen folks like you could do.
I hope you’ll chip in today: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/tdp_janmm#GOTV
Just a couple more days left!

P.S. You can also check your own registration and make sure you’re prepared for all the big elections coming up. February 2 is right around the corner, so be sure you’re ready to GOTV by checking your registration today!
