Allow All Conventions to be Hybrid
Add signatureCurrently, it is not allowed for Conventions (from State Conventions to District Conventions to replace SDEC members) to be hybrid meetings. As it is the 21st Century, we call for changing any necessary rules to allow for Conventions to be hybrid to increase accessibility, increase engagement, and to not limit attendance and participation to just those with the economic means to attend Conventions.

Healthcare for All
Add signatureHealthcare is a human right. The Democratic Party should support any and all legislation to expand affordable, quality healthcare to all residents in USA -- including but not limited to Medicare expansion, full expansion of the ACA, and Medicare for All or any other universal system of healthcare.

Ranked-Choice Voting for Statewide Party Officers
The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well.
Add signatureWe 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.

Turn the TDP Chair into a Full-Time Position
The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well.
Add signatureThe Chair of the Texas Democratic Party is an important position. It's a disservice to the Party that whoever holds that position cannot give it their all. Furthermore, by not compensating the Chair position, we inadvertently dissuade working class people from leading the Texas Democrats. As such, we call for the State Chair to become a full-time, paid position within the Texas Democratic Party.
