Happy Mother’s Day!! Sherry Ingram-Jones Love you and glad we got to have lunch together with Austin Terry

Thank you Republicans for your obsession with this whacko.

Another blue wave in 2024

Jay Powell is to 2022 what Jim Comey was to 2016. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😡😡

We are proud to support Venton Jones for the Texas State House. He will do a great job in Austin but needs your help in his runoff May 24th.

If you can, please contribute. If you’re in District 100 please don’t forget to vote next month.

Millions of people are without power in Texas today. However, millions of square footage of office space in downtown and uptown are fully functional and are wasting enormous amounts of electricity with those buildings heated to 70 degrees. There are very few people even working in these buildings largely because of COVID. My office landlord won’t shut the building down “because a handful of people are working in the office”. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. Total and complete lack of judgment and common sense.

Shut every office building down and save that electricity for residents who are cold. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Women, minorities and LGBTQ people - we are all about to take a giant step backwards. Coney Barrett has spent her entire life pursuing what she achieved tonight - a chance to force her personal religious beliefs on the lives of 340,000,000 people.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. There are more of us than straight white men in America but we handed right wing extremist a chance to set back the cause of equality by decades. She and they want an America that works only for a select few - not an America that treats all it citizens equally.

The most painful aspect of this is the large number of women and LGBTQ people I talk to who refuse to refuse to believe Roe or marriage equality will be overturned. It’s incredibly depressing how uneducated our fellow citizen are to what the Federalist Society has been fighting for - a theocracy billy on a narrow view - their view - of religion

VOTE

TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO VOTE

EDUCATE them on what elections are about.

If you live in Texas, please vote for your Democratic House candidates. Winning the Texas House is the only hope we have of protecting abortion rights in this state. If you’re in please vote for Joanna Cattanach for Texas State Representative HD108 to ensure Morgan Meyer is defeated and abortion rights are upheld.

We will pay the price of 2016 for decades.

Never again.

While all of us are doing our best to manage the effects of COVID, our work to flip the Texas House must continue. We need nine seats to ensure Democrats have a strong role in how our state is governed next year.

Redistricting was already a key issue but our next legislature will also determine if we build on the gains in public education that where made in 2019 or go backwards. The number of uninsured Texans is increasing rapidly and we need to improve our health care systems to ensure all Texans receive quality health care. It is imperative that we gain those nine seats to improve our state.

Next Sunday, Paul Begala will he the featured guest of the Texas HDCC. Please join members of the Texas House and Chair Celia Israel in ensuring we have the resources to flip the House in November.

The link for tickets is below.

I hope you can join us!!

Thank you for your support of Texas HDCC.

I encourage all of you who are concerned about the COVID-19 virus to contact your local and federal elected officials and demand we start testing everyone who works in an elder care facility. All the data shows that the elderly - especially those with significant health issues - face serious risks. It’s unacceptable that our government is not doing more to protect these vulnerable populations. Washington state has had over 20 deaths of seniors because 70 caregivers have the virus. In Italy the number is now over 1,000.

The country is devolving into a panic because our government did little over a three month period of tine to prepare for an epidemic every epidemiologist said would effect us. I don’t understand why testing kits aren’t widely available but it’s time for us to demand more accountability from our government.

My advice is to call the following elected officials and demand more be done. Testing is key to stopping the spread of this deadly epidemic.

Governor Greg Abbott 512-463-2000

State Representative Morgan Meyer 512-463-0367

Senator John Cornyn. 202-224-2934

Senator Ted Cruz 202-224-5922

Yesterday was a great day for Democrats in Texas! We had unprecedented, record turnout and it clearly sends a signal that not only are Texans hungry for change, but Texas is a purple state. We have a wonderful opportunity to flip the Texas House in 2020 and I hope everyone will pull together to ensure we do that. Everything about how our state is governed is at stake in November and we have to do all we can to elect a Democratic majority. Congratulations to Joanna Cattanach for Texas State Representative HD108 on a hard fought victory and I know we will all work to make sure she represents us in Austin in 2021.

While I can’t adequately express my disappointment in not having a chance to represent you, I’m heartened by the positives of the opportunity we as Democrats have in 2020. I’m also grateful beyond words for the support so many of you have provided my campaign to make Texas a better state. I said last night that despite the results, ours was clearly a winning team. I’m proud of every volunteer, donor and supporter and you are the most amazing collection of people I’ve ever been associated with. All of us were fighting for the same cause - to change our state government to one that improves our schools and access to healthcare while respecting the rights and dignity of every single Texan. I know that cause will continue to unite us.

I can’t say enough about the team that managed this effort - Sarah Slamen, Susan Duncan and Libby Hayhurst. These women are incredible and I’ve loved every minute of working with them and they deserved a better outcome. I had volunteers (you know who you are) who did more than was imaginable and I will forever be grateful for your effort. The friendships we made will last a lifetime and I have so much love and appreciation for all of you.

Finally, I want to thank my family. The highlight of this effort was campaigning with my family the past few days. My mother spent early voting greeting voters, David worked every day greeting voters in early voting and knocked on hundreds of doors and my kids, Austin and Alex were incredible at the doors this weekend and at the polling places yesterday. Having my kids and David fight for every vote at their polling places will always be one of the highlights of my life. My family was just amazing and I just wish I had matched their effectiveness.

Thank you to everyone and I look forward to continuing to work with you to turn Texas blue.

We can't wait to see y'all this evening!

The family that block walks together wins together!! So proud to have both kids home helping in the final push. Thanks Austin Terry and Alexandra Terry for coming home to help your Dad.
