Friend, we won’t back down from this fight.

Friend, My name is Rochelle Garza, and I am your Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General. Even though we had time to prepare for this news, it doesn’t make hearing it any easier. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade. I’m angry, and I know you are too.…

Hi Friend, It’s official! Beto O’Rourke and Eugene Lee Yang are coming to San Antonio for a one-of-a-kind event on Monday, July 11th. I’ve been so excited to make this announcement for weeks -- this is shaping up to be an incredible evening. We’re going to have live music, delicious food, an op…

Bullies and insurrectionists

friend, Last weekend, the Republican Party of Texas hosted its bi-annual Convention -- and let me tell you, it was quite a gathering. Over the days that they met, Texas Republicans took over Houston with what can only be described as a clown carnival of extremism featuring all the greatest hits:…

The Texas GOP: anti-family, anti-Texan, and anti-American

friend, This weekend, Republicans at the Texas GOP Convention adopted new additions to their platform that are among the most extreme political doctrines that this country has seen in decades. Texas Republicans showed us that they live in a parallel universe full of conspiracy-fueled hate -- and…

This Juneteenth, we celebrate and remember

Friend, On June 19, 1865, federal troops landed in Galveston, Texas, and read aloud from General Orders No. 3, announcing that “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” With that announcement -- two m…

The Texas GOP Convention is a nightmare

Hi friend, Today is the first day of the Texas Republican Convention. We know the next few days will showcase the Texas GOP’s love of harmful conspiracy theories that scapegoat everyday Texans. I’m so angry that this is the party dominating our state government. Clearly the only thing Texas Rep…

Hi friend, With our 2022 Texas Democratic Convention officially one month away, I wanted to reach out to introduce myself. I’m Kiefer Odell, the Convention Director here at the Texas Democratic Party. Since January, I’ve been working around the clock to put on the biggest party in Texas, and I c…

Republicans need to get real on mental healthcare in Texas

Friend, Today, the Texas House Investigative Committee on The Robb Elementary Shooting in Uvalde is meeting, and unfortunately, I’m not too hopeful for the outcome. So many institutional failures led to the tragedy that occurred at Robb Elementary. We know that our state’s dangerous gun laws an…

Hi Friend, did you see Mike’s email yesterday? I couldn’t imagine a more qualified person to take on Dan Patrick this November than Mike Collier. Mike’s a real leader, he’s been in this fight, and he knows what Texans want. That’s far more than I could say for our current Lieutenant Governor. H…

Abbott is a complete failure

Friend, Last Friday, I joined thousands of Texans in Houston making their voices heard and telling the National Rifle Association loud and clear that they are not welcome in our state. It’s hard to really articulate the outrage I saw on Friday, the outrage I’ve seen from millions of Americans si…

Abbott, it’s time to bring us back to work.

Hi friend, In the last few days, I have watched a horrific tragedy strike the community I know and love, the district I call home. I’ve spent the last four days on the ground, speaking to parents and loved ones of the children and teachers whose lives were taken far too soon. I keep trying to t…

Governor Abbott, it’s time to act.

Hi friend, The last few days have been nothing short of horrific, and I know we are all reeling from the unimaginable tragedy in Uvalde. It’s heartbreaking that this happened in the state I love, just miles away from my hometown of San Antonio. As we all mourn for the students and teachers who …

Our hearts are broken for Uvalde

Friend, Mine and Cyndi’s hearts are broken for the Uvalde, TX community. This is an absolute nightmare that has shaken our state and our country. Nineteen children and two teachers were taken at the hands of an individual who should have never had a weapon in the first place. Our schools should…

This is how we win

Hey Friend, Last weekend, hundreds of Texans from across the state gathered for a Voter Registration Day of Action. While Republicans will stop at nothing to disenfranchise our communities, Texas Democrats are working hard to bring new voters to polls this November. Voter registration is one of…

Trump will not stop fueling AAPI hate

Hey friend, It’s never easy for me when Trump comes to Texas. He’s threatened our lives, our communities, and our democracy. But his contempt for the Asian American community really pisses me off. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We are Texas’ fastest-growing populatio…

Trump’s not welcome in Texas

Hi friend, Trump is in Texas this week, and tomorrow, he’s bringing his bullshit “Freedom Tour” to Austin. The disgraced, twice-impeached, former President is on a campaign around our home state to help his buddies, like Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, shore up support from the far right. He’s desp…

78%

Hi Friend, Yesterday, a poll from the University of Texas at Austin highlighted what we know to be true: a majority of Texans support access to abortion. 78% said they believe abortion rights ought to be protected -- while only 15% said it ought to be outlawed in all circumstances. Friend,…

Friend, I’m pissed.

Friend, After the last 36 hours of processing the news about Roe v. Wade, there’s really only one way to describe how I’m feeling -- I’m pissed off. Friend, I’m so angry with the extremist conservatives on our Court who authored this opinion, the Republicans in Congress that have stood in the w…

I stand with you

Friend, To say I’m saddened and disgusted by last night’s news would be putting it lightly. The draft opinion by Justice Alito leaked by Politico outlining the intentions of 5 Supreme Court Justices to overturn Roe v. Wade is a nightmare for people and families across our state and across our co…

Friend, only a few hours left

Hi Friend, Every day this month, we've been reminded of how important it is that we elect Democratic leadership in Texas. Abbott's border disasters (yes, disasters) are the latest in a series of billion-dollar mistakes that prove he cannot continue to sink our state. From Abbott's trade shutdo…

Hi Friend, There’s nothing Greg Abbott wouldn’t put at risk for a political stunt. Migrants, border communities, taxpayer dollars, our state’s economy -- nothing is more important to our governor than a 3 minute segment on Fox News. And Friend, we can now put a number to the cost of Abbott’s la…

Dan Patrick is a disgrace to Texas
