Friend, do you ❤️ TX Public Schools?

Show your support in style! Friend, At this point, it couldn’t be any clearer: Texas Republicans are working hard to defund public education -- and to send our tax dollars to wealthy, privately-owned institutions while they leave our public schools severely underfunded. Gutting Texas public schoo…

That’s our President

Friend, President Biden ran for office for three main reasons: to rebuild the backbone of the country, unite Americans, and restore the soul of the nation. And after tonight’s State of the Union Address, I’m so grateful to have a Democratic President who works tirelessly to uphold those promises…

Ted Cruz: term limits for thee, not for me

Friend, Over the past few weeks, Ted Cruz has been talking up his new bill limiting U.S. Senators to two terms, even as he actively plans to run for his third term. The man’s hypocrisy truly knows no bounds. Make no mistake, Friend: taking steps to end political entrenchment is a noble goal. Ju…

Black History is American History

Friend, Over centuries, the contributions of Black people have shaped our state, our country, and the Democratic Party into what it is today. Black History is American history, and we’re celebrating that history every day. Together, we remember those who came before us, honor their resilience, an…

We ❤️ Texas Public Schools

Show your support for public education!Friend, Texas Republicans are working to defund public education -- and to send our tax dollars to wealthy, privately-owned schools under the false promise of “school choice.” This will hurt urban and rural areas most directly, where funding has already been…

Republicans are trying to greenlight anti-Asian hate in Texas

Friend, In the past few days, Texas Republicans have filed a slate of bills in the Texas Legislature that would bar tens of thousands of lawful immigrants and refugees -- on the path to becoming US citizens -- from being able to purchase property in Texas due to their national origin. It’s espe…

Let’s give our teachers a $15,000 pay raise

Friend, My name is Representative James Talarico. Before I was a lawmaker, I was a public school teacher. I struggled to make ends meet, so I know firsthand the challenges our teachers face in the classroom. We ask so much from our teachers -- now they’re the latest target in the culture wars …

fwd: It’s time to abolish Confederate Heroes’ Day.

We need 8,000 more signatures. Hi Friend, just wanted to make sure you saw this. Today, the State of Texas officially recognizes “Confederate Heroes’” Day. And in 2023, it’s time to put an end to upholding white supremacy and honoring racist losers. Texas House Democrats are rallying behind State…

It’s time to abolish Confederate Heroes’ Day.

Add your name now to show your support Friend, the hypocrisy is at an all time high. In the same week that Texans observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our state will once again officially recognize “Confederate Heroes’” Day. Yesterday, our Texas House Democrats rallied around a bill to abolish th…

“one of the most conservative legislative sessions in history”

Friend, This morning marked the beginning of another term for Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Patrick. Today serves as a reminder of the stark contrast between Republicans’ conservative policies and the values that we stand for as Texas Democrats. Prices for groceries and utility bil…

The start of the 88th Texas Legislative Session!

Friend, The Texas Democratic Party team was at the Capitol in Austin yesterday to watch the swearing-in of the 88th Legislative Session -- and I can tell you that there was an electric energy in the building. Texas Democrats made history by tripling the number of Black LGBTQ lawmakers and e…

Two years ago

Dear Friend, Today marks the two year anniversary of the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol -- one of the darkest days in American history that was an assault on the very foundation of our democracy. And Friend, the same extremism that fueled that attack is still alive and well…

Republicans are in disarray

Friend, Republicans have held the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives for less than a day, and already they've managed to immobilize the entire Congress with their chaos and incompetence. It's outrageous, and it shows that it’s more important than ever that we come together as Texas De…

A historic victory for love and equality

Friend, Today, Texans across the state are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that one of their most fundamental rights -- the right to be married to the person they love, regardless of race or gender identity -- is no longer under direct threat by an extremist Supreme Court or a radical far-rig…

Ted Cruz chose hatred and bigotry over equality for Texans

Friend, When the Supreme Court nullified abortion rights earlier this year, millions of Americans were confronted with the sobering reality that we can no longer take for granted any of the freedoms we once thought were secure. That's why I was so encouraged by the Senate's vote yesterday to prot…

We can stop Trump right here in Texas

Friend, Here we go again. Tonight, Donald Trump announced that he's running for president in 2024. We can’t withstand another four years. His cruelty. His chaos. His corruption. The way that he emboldens extremists and turns Americans against each other. We can stop him right here in Texas, Fr…

Democrats held the line in South Texas

Friend, For years, national and state media have frantically pushed the narrative that Democrats are losing the Hispanic vote in South Texas. Republicans have capitalized on that narrative -- at the state level, they’ve redrawn district lines to pick the voters they want, and D.C. Republicans ha…

Hi Friend, In a matter of just a few days, Texans will be making their very last decisions at the polls. Friend, we don’t want to wake up on the morning of November 9th with a single regret -- so we have to keep pushing all the way through Election Day. With only 4 points separating me and Dan…

an important update from South Texas

Hi Friend, After we found out last month that national Democrats were pulling resources from South Texas, we committed to doubling down our efforts. And I’m happy to say we’ve done just that. We’ve raised money, deployed Party staff, and launched a paid canvass. So I wanted to take a moment to c…

Hi Friend, Did you know millions of Texans have already cast their ballots in the midterm election? It’s so important that we get as many folks as we can to show up to the polls and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. Our privacy, our health, our pocketbooks and even the air and water we…

How to get your friends to the polls TODAY

Hi Friend, For Beto O'Rourke and all Democrats down the ballot to win next week, we have to get our Democratic voters to the polls. Too many of our own friends and neighbors still have not voted and may not vote at all if we don’t personally remind them how important this election is -- for Texa…

TX Republicans’ attack on public education affects the whole country

Too cowardly to debate
