Texas Democratic Convention kicks off in El Paso - KXAN
Democrats from across Texas are convening in El Paso this weekend to organize for the 2024 campaign season. KXAN's Ryan Chandler reports from the convention.
====================
Special guests for the Thursday night kickoff event include former presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa and El Paso's own U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar and state Sen. Cesar Blanco.
A breakfast event slated for Saturday morning will once again feature Escobar along with U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston.
Other prominent political figures scheduled to attend the event are U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, who is currently mounting a campaign to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio. David Hogg, a student survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, is also scheduled to attend.
