Blueprint for Victory: Texas Democrats' 2024 Convention Recap

How Texas Democrats Are Setting the Stage for a Progressive Future

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/blueprint-for-victory-texas-democrats




We know what we need to do:

Elect Colin Allred.

Flip at least 12 seats.

Keep all of our blue counties blue.

And turn the following blue counties blue in November: Tarrant, Collin, and Williamson.

We have a huge focus on our battleground counties, Dallas and Bexar.

We all have to show up in November.

The only train out left at 2 pm Saturday. It was too expensive to fly on Sunday, so I opted for Saturday. I wanted to vote for my SDEC members on Friday. I did catch the training sessions on Thursday. The TDP Voter Protection team has great plans. However, Harris already has a great program in place.

I have been working with Gerry Birnberg and Nicole for a long time. My county has a new county party chair and so we will have a voter protection program. I like Jenna Royal and was in the war room during the primary

As for the quorum fuss, one of the items not voted out of committee was voting no preference in primaries. We saw how this option was weaponized against President Biden in Michigan and a couple of other states. I am glad that this proposal failed. I o not blame you for leaving early.
