has an important message:
If we’re going to save our democracy, then we all have to get involved.
Grab a friend, a family member, and a neighbor — and head out to the polls! Find your nearest polling location at .
The outpouring of support from around the world after the attack on our office has been incredible. To everyone that has reached out to our office…THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. Extra thanks for Blake from Latchkey who arrived first on the scene to extinguish the fire!
Travis County Democrats are ready to elect
@RochelleMGarza
as our next Attorney General! Thank you to all the volunteers who came out today to hear about what’s at stake in this race and knock on some doors with TCDP and
@BlueActionSWATX
!
Making sure we have the facts straight:
1.
@DanPatrick
took $3mil from Paxton donors
2. He oversaw the entire “trial”
3. He called
#txlege
senators to advocate they vote no before today’s vote
4. He threw a temper tantrum at the end of the vote
Corruption at its worst!
Congrats to our very own
@DonnaHowardTX
on being named one of the Best Legislators by Texas Monthly! She leads with heart and has worked tirelessly in the House, protecting sexual assault survivors and fighting for abortion rights.
We are one party united against domestic terrorist attacks meant to suppress voters. We will continue our fight for voting rights, free speech, and a better America.
"We will make sure our voice is heard because you will not silence us." -Katie Naranjo, Travis County, Texas Democratic Party chair, delivers a message for the person who tried to firebomb her office this morning.
@KatieNaranjo
Austin City Council passed the GRACE Act to decriminalize abortion. We're thankful for our progressive leaders on city council whom reaffirmed that access to reproductive health care is a human right.
Our heart goes out to the victims of the shooting at Round Rock’s Juneteenth festival yesterday.
We must pass common sense gun safety legislation to protect our communities and keep our schools, churches, and festivals safe.
Enough is enough.
7 years since former State Senator (and our current nominee in TX-21)
@wendydavis
made history.
Thank you for all you’ve helped accomplish, Wendy! We can’t wait to see you in Congress.
Today marks the 7 year anniversary of when former State Sen.

BREAKING: TCDP and TCRP entered into a joint primary contract! County wide voting is preserved for EV and EDay! This is a huge victory for workers, voters of color, suburban voters, all voters! Expect changes to the GOP primary with minimal impacts to the Dem primary.
Austinites have elected leaders to stand up for our community and push back against your transphobic agenda.
We will not bully trans kids. We will not bully trans Texans.
Your hate has no place in our state.
If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance. Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have
Our corrupt Attorney General just sued Austin and 4 other Texas cities for decriminalizing marijuana possession.
This isn’t just a policy disagreement — it’s a direct assault on local democracy.
Republicans hate local control.

For the first time ever, Travis County voters will elect directors to the Travis Central Appraisal District.
These offices will impact our public schools, parks, libraries, and property values.
And Republicans are trying to take control.

🥂✨HAPPY NEW YEARS TCDP FAM! ✨🥂
We are so excited to see what this new year has in stores for us and we hope that you can join us in our efforts to elect Democrats up & down the ballot in 2022! Be sure to mark these important dates on your calendar!
Democrats are working overtime to support Texans seeking abortion care. Access to abortion should not be determined by which state you live in or how much money is in your bank account. Abortion is a right not a privilege!
Today, *MORE THAN 50* Texas Democrats & abortion advocates signed onto our letter outlining steps the Biden Admin can take to get Texans in-state abortion care – specifically with medication abortion.
We have to do everything we can to help Texans now.
In July, Texas Democrats broke quorum to protect the right to vote. Their bravery has led to the Freedom to Vote Act, introduced today in the United States Senate. Thank you,

a very happy birthday! Thank you for always being an advocate for teachers, students, education professionals, healthcare workers, essential workers, workers rights, and green jobs!
Ted Cruz must be held responsible for inciting violence against America during today’s protests.
Ted Cruz and those violently rioting today are traitors to America.
While Republicans are entitled to disagree with us, they are not entitled to spread lies about us. Here are some photos of Dems doing the real work.

On January 6th, Donald Trump tried to overthrow our government.
Today, the Supreme Court just let him off the hook — and granted him “absolute immunity” for official acts.
There is only one way to defeat Trump: re-elect President Joe Biden in November.
In a historic 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court justices said for the first time that former presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for their official acts and no immunity for unofficial acts.
Read the full ruling on the Trump immunity case:
Congratulations Rep.
