Texas Democrats want to flip the state. Their strategy is to focus on local races.
Attendees to the 2022 Texas Democratic Party biennial convention in Dallas greet each other during the first day of the meetup.
Anthony Robinson, the organization's director, told The Texas Newsroom the goal is to build a bench of promising candidates and help Texas Democrats flip the state. Robinson said the only way to fight those attitudes is with candidates that can stand for those issues, and win.Erica Lawrence, a Montgomery County resident and the president of the Democratic Club of The Woodlands, acknowledges winning takes time. But she believes it’s possible.
But Gion Thomas, a Democratic activist from Katy, said that in order to build an impactful bench, the party needs to focus on issues such as universal health care, free college tuition, and climate change — issues that resonate more with young voters.
