During an all-staff meeting at a nat'l org I used to work for, the head of the org was asked who her favorite candidate was that cycle. Her answer? @halaayala.bsky.social

Hear us talk the chaos of victories and her favorite people 🤫 @senlouiselucas.bluesky.bot

Super fun podcast on Senator Lloyd Bentsen who - among many other things - revolutionized campaigning in Texas with a

—- wait for it ——

— statewide coordinated campaign, which resulted in huge Democratic gains across the state and down ballot.

I definitely teared up this morning while on my run after my sister sent this announcement from the Hays Free Press

Forever proud of my Dad and grandmother. Miss them every day 🩷

Congratulations to the DNC’s incoming chair @kenmartin.bsky.social

It was truly heartening to see an energizing slate of candidates seeking to lead our party, all with clear visions for winning states like TX

It’s like I keep saying: in order for us to be competitive, we have to start from the assumption that the State Party is a critical and central part of the political ecosystem.

We lose ground when efforts attempt to replace or duplicate what we are mandated to do.

What a great Q4 meeting!

Thank you to every SDEC member, county chair, chairs of our constituency caucuses, DNC members, all of the people here who worked on campaigns or were organizational partners, and to the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social team for your contributions this cycle.

I’ve used an eraser once on this sketch but have modified proportions quite a bit

It’s still a work-in-progress and also a good exercise that helps to not be overly concerned with every single imperfection

Good news: I actually wore a helmet today

Bad news: I cannot out skate a bear while going uphill
