Did I think Quentin’s win would get attention? Yes. Did I think it would be like this? No.

That #QuentinWiltz victory took WORK. I cannot stress that enough. You see a candidate you support? Money is great, but so is your time. I guarantee you that your local club/party could certainly use your help.

Quentin Wiltz WINS Pearland Mayoral race by 263 votes.

It was an honor to be in the room when it was announced.

TX Republicans are so mad about the support that Alvarado received that they just voted to kill her filibuster before it even started, forcing a vote to pass their rigged map. They claimed she was using the filibuster to campaign & were “offended” to be kept there on a Friday night. These facist MFs
According to the Washington Post, TX Senator Carol Alvarado “got an IV infusion, inserted a catheter with a urine bag attached, bought a long blue flowered dress to hide the bag” as part of her preparation to filibuster the new congressional map tonight

Texas House Democrats who have returned will have an around the clock DPS escort to ensure they return to the floor.

No plans for a second quorum break, so this is just so Republicans can run up the bill and charge Dems for DPS staffing. Dems can and should challenge these expenses in court
