Texas Democrats Fight Back Against GOP Radicalism

Tomorrow is the last day of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Convention, but the party said tonight’s general session could go as late as midnight. Today, the party elected its new RPT chair, presented its legislative priorities to the entire delegation, and established its party rules. They’ve gone to a Gala this evening and are supposed to reconvene at 9:00 pm to vote on a Vice Chair and adopt the new platform. We’ll get into all that, but before the Republicans’ day even started this morning, the Texas House Democratic Caucus (HDC) showed up at their convention and held a press conference about their extremism.

This is why I love Texas Democrats. From breaking quorum to prevent voter oppression to Jasmine Crockett taking MAGA extremism to church in Congress and James Talarico confronting white supremacy from the back mic in Austin, you can rest easy knowing that Texas Democrats are going to work hard to protect your rights. (Most of them, anyway.)

In attendance at this press conference were HDC president Trey Martinez Fischer, Representative Vikki Goodwin, Representative Gene Wu, Representative Josey Garcia, Congressman Joaquin Castro, and Adrian Reyna with the San Antonio Alliance of Teachers and Support Personnel.
