Texas Democratic Party Officially Adopts 2022 Platform

AUSTIN, Texas -- Today, the State Democratic Executive Committee, which governs party business in between biennial state conventions, met to charge a committee to amend the existing platform and approved this document after it was amended by committee. 

The committee began with the 2022 Convention Permanent Platform Committee approved platform that was unreported to the Convention due to quorum call/adjournment on July 16, 2022.

Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa released the following statement on the adoption of the 2022 Platform:

“I’m proud to share with Texans our updated party platform – a document that lays out in detail how Texas Democrats will fight for everyday working Texan families when we win in November.

“While Texas Republicans regress further down their dark rabbit hole of divisive culture wars, Texas Democrats stand ready to put this platform into action come November: creating an economy that works for all Texans, not just the wealthy oligarchs; expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare; freeing our communities from the constant threat of gun violence; ensuring a quality education for all Texan children; giving women back their bodily autonomy and the ability to get abortion care; and yes, fixing the damn electric grid.

“When Texans compare the Texas Democrats’ platform to the jaw-dropping secessionist trash the Texas Republicans adopted earlier this summer, the differences between the two parties truly speak for themselves.”
