For the first time in Texas history, there is a Democrat running for every single race on the ballot. This is because our Texas Challengers believe that every voter in every community across the state deserves a choice.
The Texas Challengers program has recruited more than 100 candidates who are running in districts that have gone uncontested for years. Our candidates are not career politicians. They are teachers, veterans, small business owners, and working parents who not only understand the issues facing their communities, but live them every day.
Across the country, Democrats have flipped seats that were once seen as unwinnable, showing that when candidates show up – and voters engage – change is possible. That same momentum is building in Texas. This cycle alone, we’ve already won hard races in special elections, and we are continuing to expand that progress across the state. The Texas Challengers are broadening the map and building a foundation for long term success in overlooked areas.
We are working to raise $100,000 to fund this outreach. Your donation will support more than just one campaign – it will go towards outreach in areas across the state where voters have never been contacted before. Our candidates are starting from scratch, and your donations will fund outreach such as calls, texts, and mail to help our Texas Challengers connect with voters, and build civic engagement across election cycles.
The candidates have stepped up. Now we are asking you to stand with them. Together, we can compete everywhere and build a Texas that reflects all of us.
