Texas Democrats

Texas is home to nine illustrious HBCUs, each with a proud history of empowering Black students and shaping future leaders.

These institutions remain vital centers of culture, education, and opportunity—continuing to advance equity and excellence across the state.

Texas Democrats are building power from the ground up.

Chair Ken Martin is calling on YOU to step up as a precinct chair and be the voice of your community.

This Constitution Day, we reflect on how we are a nation where one of our founding documents calls for us to promote justice, tranquility, and the welfare of all citizens.

May we remember our founding principles in the face of one man’s harmful agenda.

On September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the resilience that united our nation in the face of tragedy.

Across Texas, we celebrate the vital role of Hispanic-Serving Institutions in shaping inclusive, high-impact education.

HB 37, a bill by @plesafortexas.bsky.social providing much-needed support to grieving families, is now law. #txlege

If your vote didn’t matter, Republicans wouldn’t try so hard to silence it.

In a functioning democracy, the PEOPLE choose their leaders.

It’s time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act so Texans can elect their own leaders. #txlege

Here's a scandal you may not have heard about: Trump wants to pay AI companies to deny seniors on Medicare treatments their doctors say they need.

A warning from Texas and Ohio about Republicans’ redistricting power-grab.

Guns have more rights than women in Texas.

In the so-called freedom state, Republicans' favorite pastime is taking away rights from Texans.

Under Texas law, ANYONE can now sue doctors for simply providing women with healthcare. #txlege

Yes, in 2025, Texas Republicans are still dividing us by race and limiting minority voting power.

Hispanic Texans deserve full voting power—not just one-third.

It’s time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act so Texans can elect their own leaders. #txlege

I signed Rep. Massie's discharge petition to force a vote on releasing all the Epstein files. Only two more House Republicans need to join to ensure full disclosure.

The choice for Republicans: justice for the sexual abuse survivors or protecting Trump from whatever these files contain about him.

For more than five decades, Rep. Alma Allen has devoted her life to Texas.

She spent 39 years as a teacher and principal in Houston ISD, 10 years on the State Board of Education, and serving her community in the Texas House.

Her retirement marks the close of a lifetime dedicated to public service.

You didn’t get the weekend, 8-hour day, or child labor bans because corporations were generous—unions fought for them.

The working and middle class thrive when unions are strong.

That’s why the rich fight unionizing. America is strongest when labor is strong.

Greg Abbott thinks giving Texans horse medication will make Texas healthy again.

What would actually improve Texans’ health is stopping rural hospitals from closing and expanding healthcare.

But Texas Republicans only care about serving Trump—not the health of Texans.

Our hearts are with the young lives tragically taken too soon by senseless gun violence.

We extend our deepest condolences to the people of Minnesota and to the children, families, and community of Annunciation Catholic School.

🔥 Breaking: Senator Carol Alvarado to Filibuster Against Republican Election-Rigging Maps

Texas Democrats are using every tool available to stop Trump’s authoritarian power grab.

We stand with Senator Alvarado.

#FairMaps #StandWithCarol #txlege

Escuche al Rep. Ramon Romero.

Under this map, a Hispanic Texan’s vote counts about one-third, and a Black Texan’s just one-fifth, compared to a white Texan’s. #txlege

Listen to @voteannjohnson.bsky.social call out Republicans for their blatant racism against minority communities in Texas. #txlege

BREAKING: At Trump’s request, Texas Republicans voted to rig our elections.

These maps drag us back to the 1950s, stripping minority communities of fair representation.

Authoritarianism is here—and we’re going to keep fighting like hell for our state and country.

Trump: I need five more seats.

Republicans: Oh yes, sir. You're the great leader, sir.

Texas House Democrats, we’ve got their backs!

Hell yah👏🏼👏🏾👏🏽👏🏾

The people of Texas urged us to do anything we could to stop the Trump Regime's attempt to take political power away from millions of working families.

We heard you.

That’s why we’ve decided to deny quorum and fight this power grab with everything we’ve got. #txlege

You gotta know when to hold ‘em!

Democrats are holding Republicans accountable for their attempts to rig our elections.

Time to play a lil Texas Hold ’Em.

What Republicans have realized is that by disenfranchising minority voters, they can obfuscate their accountability for their actions. - Chairman Scudder
