Both of these women are my grandmothers. Born in the 1920s, they were reared and lived and died in rural Texas.

One was born with the right to vote. One was 45 before she could exercise it freely.

All these years later there's still a long row to hoe in rural Texas.

A new federal program comes as a relief to low-income residents, but in rural areas, some local providers aren’t participating.

Texas continues to lag in vaccinations, especially in rural counties.

What are our Governor and Lt. Governor doing to ensure more Texans are getting vaccinated before the Delta variant takes hold?

What are they doing to combat vaccine misinformation?

Nothing.

Nuff said! #LetThePeopleVote

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

A month ago, we broke quorum to kill the Texas voter suppression bill.

A week ago, Gov. Abbott defunded the entire legislative branch in retaliation.

Today, we’re suing Abbott in the Texas Supreme Court.

Texas is the frontline in the fight for democracy. #txlege

The freshest batch of VDRs in Lubbock County! Be one of the heard, not one of the herd. #VotingRightsAct

[Mike Collier @CollierForTexas]

Public money ought to go to public schools for the public good.

Whether it be vouchers or charters, I'm against any effort, by Democrats or Republicans, to send our taxpayer dollars to private institutions.

We should be investing every last penny into our public schools.

As of June 21, 39.7% of Texans are fully vaccinated. The amount of vaccine doses administered increased from last week. https://t.co/WMs46oH7k7

The Border — El Paso — is not a political prop, and should not be used as one, regardless of which political party is in office.

Read our statement with @eptxyds on the Vice President’s visit to El Paso:

[Texas Young Democrats @texasyds]

Young Democrats across the Great State of Texas — please help us welcome the next Executive Committee of the Texas Young Democrats.

There’s a lot of work to do, but the future has never looked brighter.

Onward in this fight!
