Texas Democrats Are Undeterred By Republican Threats, Especially From Corrupt Ken Paxton

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chairman issued the following statement in response to Ken Paxton filing to remove 13 of his political opponents from office:


“If Texas Republicans have a problem with this constitutionally protected quorum break, they can take it up with Gen. Sam Houston and the founders of Texas who authored our constitution. Texas Democrats are exercising a long-standing, constitutionally protected right of the minority party to block extreme agendas — in this case, gerrymandering to keep Trump in power. These lawmakers have taken significant risks and sacrifices to stop Trump’s agenda, and despite all the threats they face, they remain undeterred, just like the rest of us. If Ken Paxton wants a fight, we will give him one.”
