Taylor County Democratic Party

Over the last 2 weeks, Dems came out for Talarico/Crockett more than Republicans came out for Cornyn/Paxton/Hunt.

We'd like to not only thank our Democrat friends and family for showing up, but also our Republican and unaffiliated friends who did the same. LET'S CARRY THIS MOMENTUM ON TO NOVEMBER!!

Don't forget today at 3pm at Rose Park. Make sure to dress warmly, it will be chilly.

Early votingnstarts today. Use this opportunity to beat the crowds.

Don't forget, next week is your chance to hear from 6 of our local and state candidates, so don't miss out. And share this with your friends and family, all are welcome to attend.

It's always important to support local businesses, but especially after situations like this.

Join us 12/31/2026 for Donuts with Democrats. Joe Calderon will be leading the discussion on voting rights in the upcoming elections. If you haven't already registered to vote now is the time and bring your friends who still need to register to vote.

Might be hard for them to believe, but we stand up to tyranny for free.

Join us

We plead for more of our Republican colleagues, friends, and family to be brave, stand up against the tyranny that has overtaken your party, denounce Constitutional violations, and demand accountability. The terrorizing and killing of citizens isn't a partisan issue.

Who in the picture would YOU protect?

Make sure to come out to our candidates forum on Feb 5. We will have 6 candidates running in our upcoming local, state, and federal elections, so come out, meet them, hear what they have to say, and even offer questions for the candidates yourself.

The TCDP supports women's reproductive rights and the need to have them codified at both the state and federal levels.

Reproductive health care is healthcare.

🗳️ Why should you vote?

Many people don’t—not because they don’t care, but because they believe their vote won’t change anything.

But if votes didn’t matter,
there wouldn’t be so many efforts to suppress them.

So let’s flip it:
Why should people register?
Why should registered voters show up?

Out of an abundance of caution due to inclement weather, we are canceling Donuts with Democrats on Saturday, January 24, 2026. We look forward to seeing you again on January 31, 2026. Please stay safe this weekend!

Bible passages could soon be required reading in Texas public schools The proposal, which is set to receive a preliminary vote as early as next week, is part of a novel push to mandate texts at every grade level.

"There are no required readings from religious texts other than the Bible."

Please contact your state Representatives and Senators and demand that they vote against this measure that would further isolate children of different faiths.

The Taylor County Democratic Party and Defend Democracy Abilene will be hosting a march to protest the killing of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minnesota followed by a vigil at Rose Park. All are welcomed to join us as we speak out against tyranny and honor a life tragically taken too soon.

Thank you to everybody who came out tonight. I think everybody was able to have a little bit of healing during a time that is so hard for all of us. Thank you chair Sammy Garcia for hosting this tonight.
