The Democratic Primary Elections In Texas - Part One

2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year in Texas, as Democrats have primary races up and down the ballot.

This article covers the U. S. Senate, Railroad Commissioner, and Congressional Democratic primary races. Later this week, I’ll publish a breakdown of the State Legislature, SBOE, and SCOTX races. There were just too many races to put in one article.

All week long, I’ve been hovering on the Secretary of State’s (SoS) website, refreshing and updating my list of candidates. I’m not sure if all of the candidates have been published on the SoS website yet, but I’ll keep watching it for any more updates over the next week. Not only do we have Democratic candidates in every State Senate seat that’s up for election, but we also have candidates in every SCOTX and SBOE race. And we have candidates in 85% of the House races.

I’ve said it, you’ve said it, everyone has said it, “If Democrats want to increase turnout, they need candidates in every race.” Well, we didn’t get to every race, but we got pretty damn close. Of course, there is still much work to do next year to ensure a record turnout year, but we completed step one, and the Texas Democratic Party got a huge gold star.
