After the 2020 Census, Governor Abbott and his administration gerrymandered legislative districts to force Republican wins in areas like the RGV. We must institute an Independent Redistricting Commission to make our elections fair!
We call upon the Convention Rules Committee to institute reasonable term limits such as 2 four-year terms for Party Executive Officers, the State Chair, Vice-Chair, and such, and 5 two-year terms for members of the State Democratic Executive Committee.
As the climate becomes more chaotic, we should remind everyone who helped bring about these storms: the oligarchs.
The list of possible storm names should be limited to past and present oligarchs. Let's remind the American people who are causing these relentless storms.

Progressives deserve representation! We need **AT LEAST** one of the statewide candidates in the 2026 election to be a progressive!
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act establishes a targeted process for
reviewing voting changes in jurisdictions nationwide, focused on measures that have
historically been used to discriminate against voters. It would allow a federal court to order
states or jurisdictions to be covered for results-based violations, where a particular measure
has a disparate racial impact on voting.
The Act would increase transparency by requiring reasonable public notice for
voting changes, and would grant the U.S. Attorney General authority to request federal
observers be present anywhere in the country where there is a serious threat of racial
discrimination in voting. It would also increase accessibility and protections for Native American
and Alaska Native voters.
Voting is the foundation of freedom. The Democratic Party needs to support legislation and policies that support the voting rights of all citizens. We call upon the Federal Government to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
The cannabis prohibition is harming Americans. The Democratic Party should support any legislation that moves us forward to ending the cannabis prohibition -- including full medical use, recreational use, and full decriminalization.
The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well.
We call for rule changes to the Texas Democratic Party to institute ranked-choice voting for all party officer positions elected at the 2026 State Democratic Convention. It is confusing to our delegates to use ranked-choice for SDEC and committee members only to use an entirely other voting system for party officers. One common voting system will best serve our party. We also call for the party to institute electronic voting, including at in-person conventions, for to make our floor votes faster, easier, and more transparent.
