Emphasizing State Legislative Elections
This petition was originally submitted by an anonymous TXPC supporter. Have a petition idea? Let us know!
In the 2022 Supreme Court Session, many opinions were made that strengthened the power of State legislatures with various rulings including the overturning of Roe v Wade. This means that if the Texas Democratic Party wishes to achieve its goals and platform policies, we must focus more on the State Legislature. We call for the Texas Democratic Party to put a much stronger focus on competing in State legislative elections. This includes giving candidates a platform to fundraise and seek support at the state convention.
At the TDP Convention in 2022, few state legislature candidates were allowed to speak in the general session on the main stage. Specifically, some had been promised time to be introduced, yet they were not given the time. We call for the Texas Democratic Party to put a much stronger focus on competing in State legislative elections. This includes giving candidates a platform to fundraise and seek support at the state convention.
