The next nationwide No Kings Day will be March 28, and the LCDP needs to gauge interest in holding a rally in Lampasas. Please take our survey here:

Also, tomorrow is Election Day! If you haven't already voted, please take the time to vote tomorrow at one of these locations.

Why is voting in the primary important? Not only does it ensure we get the best candidates for the General Election, it also is an important metric to gauge enthusiasm within the party. Great Democratic turnout in March means that more money will flow into Texas for the General Election, boosting Democrats up and down the ballot. So far, the Democrats have had historic early voting turnout in Texas for this primary. Our numbers can flag, though, compared to Republicans, on Election Day. Keep our numbers, and our energy, high by participating tomorrow if you haven't yet voted. And reach out to your Democratic friends and encourage them to vote, too.

We have a lot of work to do in turning rural Texas blue. Every dollar given helps us reach new voters. Click here to support our work.

Have you voted in the primary yet? Early voting ends this Friday. Be part of what could be historic turnout for a Texas Democratic Primary!

Turnout during the first week of early voting for the Texas midterm election exceeded the same period for the previous two presidential elections, years that typically see higher voter engagement.

The Texas Primary Election is coming up on March 3rd. Early voting begins February 17th. Make sure you’re ready to hit the ballot box -- and then send this along to THREE friends so they can prepare too.

Anyone have any luck getting a human on the phone at Congressman August Pfluger August Pfluger 's office? I've tried both DC and Killeen's district office. It's a sad day when Cruz's office is answering their phone and Pfluger's isn't. Meanwhile, there's not a word on the death of Alex Pretti on his FB page, and on X it is worse. There's a repost of DHS post that we now know is complete fabrication, and Pfluger implies Pretti died because he was violating the law. (As if legitimate law officers are allowed to shoot any person on sight they deem as violating the law.) I am no fan of Congressman August Pfluger but even I expected better than this. Here's the X post for those interested:

The new year has brought a lot of deeply unsettling news (an understatement, I know!). Now is the time to reach out to Senator Cornyn, Senator Cruz, and Representative Pfluger and let them know about the issues that feel most dire or pressing to you. The Senators' office in DC are often not answering their phones, but you can typically reach staffers by contacting the District offices. Those numbers are below. Five Calls (5calls.org) continues to be a great resource. You can find a list of the biggest current topics along with scripts to help you on the calls.

Hope to see you at our January meeting! In these dark times, community is our most valuable resource.

The Trump administration has continually attacked immigrant communities across the country with aggressive ICE raids, abusive and inhumane detention …
