Visited the folks from Blue Action North Austin yesterday. We talked about recent victories in NJ, VA, NY, GA, and even TX. How Taylor Rehmet has a real shot in Tarrant County. How fighting back against the current political trends can get you wins. I can get those wins in Travis County.

It's official! I've filed for a place on the ballot for Travis County Democratic Party Chair! This isn't the first time; Texas Democratic Party LGBTQ Caucus, Precinct Chair, SDEC. I've had six years to dig in and learn what's wrong with the party. I have the experience to make it better.

Great energy from University Dems! Seeing young people want to get active like this makes me proud to be a mentor. Promising to uplift young people into places of power and Leadership should be more than lip service. If this is our future, then it's looking bright indeed!

Every community needs its advocates, and I am glad to see education has such a strong fighter behind it. Thanks to Lynn Boswell for coming out and talking to the community at the Blue Action Democrats Southwest meeting!

Thank you Wells Branch Democrats for giving me the opportunity to share my vision of a winning Democratic party with you. It's refreshing to talk to people who give a damn.

Less than 24 hours before Election Day! I'm proud to fulfill an often overlooked civic duty for our community. I'm doing my part, so please do yours and get out to vote tomorrow!

Loved catching up with friends at Judge Elisabeth Earle’s reelection kickoff! Her dedication to fairness and community is exactly what public service should look like.

Attended the Williamson County Dems annual fundraiser and saw so many familiar faces. Always inspiring to spend time with folks who put their time and energy into strengthening our communities!

It’s always an honor to stand alongside Rep. Nicole Collier. She knows what it means to lead by example. Nicole is a true example of courage and steady leadership in Texas. 💙

It was heartening to hear neighbors talking about the issues that matter most and discussing the candidates ready to address them. Lake Travis Dems packed the house with folks who got to consider insights from the Texas Politics Project and hear from four state candidates!

So great spending time with Holly Taylor! She's a smart, compassionate leader dedicated to fairness and justice for all Texans. Grateful for her commitment to serving our communities.

Democracy depends on all of us showing up, whether it’s voting, volunteering, or serving at the polls. Proud to take part in election judge training and help make our elections run smoothly.

Great energy from the University Dems! During my candidate intro, I discussed voter contact and why it’s important. I’ll be adding a new piece on how to run a campaign each week. These are our future leaders. They're engaged, informed, and ready to make a difference. 🗳️

Building stronger communities starts with connection 💪 Grateful to spend the evening with Central Austin Dems! It's all about listening, learning, and sharing our vision for a better Austin together. 🌟

Had an amazing time at No Kings Day with so many folks stopping by to learn more about Stonewall Austin! 🌈💪 Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate community and solidarity!

Loved being with the Tejano Dems the other night! Nothing beats real conversations with the people doing the work. Huge shoutout to guest speaker Katherine Whitley Chu for firing us up! We’re not backing down. 💪

After careful consideration and paying first hand witness to this Administration’s blatant power grabs, I have decided to jump into the race for Travis County Democratic Party Chair. Travis County is looking for fighters, and that’s what I plan to do as the next chair of TCDP.

Pride is political. So is our float. 🏳️‍🌈🔥

Help us build the fiercest, loudest, most unapologetically queer float Austin Pride has ever seen.

Kendall Scudder is the new Chair of the Texas Democratic Party

Last night every single Democrat should have stood up and backed @algreen.house.gov

Grow a spine y'all. The GOP has zero respect for decorum when it suits them. So should we. #democrats

Congrats to our new DNC Chair

We can't all move. If all of us who are fortunate enough to have the privilege and means to move leave our prospective states, no one will be left to fight for those who don't have the means to fight for themselves

For the record, TDP does not give money to the DNC #TDP #ProgressTexas

Today I saw a Chinese person on Rednote who said, "Americans think they are free because they get to have opinions, but they don't get to have choices."

I am struggling to get behind this message...

After Texas banned puberty blockers and hormones for trans kids, adults lost care, too As limitations on trans teens increase, doctors have left the state, weakening an already threadbare system for trans adults.

Shocker...
