I am seeing a great deal of excitement on the ground. We have six Congressional Districts that are being targeted by the DCCC. The State Party needs 9 state house seats to flip the Texas House to blue and have Ms. T (Senfornia Thompson) be the next speaker (Ms T is one of my favorite politicians). We have candidates who have announced in two of the targeted seats in my county.

Greg Abbott tried a voter purge stunt that Chad Dunn (the outside counsel for the state party), the ACLU and the Texas Civil Rights Project block. We blocked a couple of voter suppression bills this cycle including SB 9 that was a horrible bill. Kirk Watson and the Texas Democrats in the Texas senate blocked Whitely as Secretary of State.

I see a great deal that makes me hopeful. We are gearing up to fight the GOP voter suppression efforts. In 2018, we had a great effort with 20+ attorneys in the state war room and people like me in all of the major counties running voter protection operations.

I think that Texas will turn blue. We got close in 2018 and there are grounds to believe that this may be the year. This will take a great deal of work and I am looking forward to the fight

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
