Thanks as always, Michelle, for great reporting and analysis. Democrats have good ideas for Texas, but I boils down to candidates and voters and turnout, and you keep up so well-informed.

How do we get potential voters to realize how important voting is? That's the thirty-million-dollar question.

R loon wins School Board primary.............hard to tell if he's nuttier than that who he replaced.

Here are his deep thoughts

from ST: "While not opposed to school choice, Hardy took a stance against using public money to pay for private schools. “Should someone wish to start a school of Satan, and they will, I do not want my tax dollars to pay for that education choice,” =

Satanists may save Texas schools....whoda thunk!

it does a whole lot of collating and mergering of voter data and other useful tasks. its a for profit enterprise owned by some former staffers and aids....basically they take the info that campaigns generate using donor money , put a price tag on it, and resell it.......a sweet racket

but fundametally it can provide emails of voters and contributors for newbie candidates who don't have that.

Hence Trey is complaining pre-emptively that Hinjosa won't do as promised...provide access to VAN , which means pay for it, which Hinojoas said he would do............

maybe one day Texas Dems will get so tired of losing they will throw all the grifting losers into the Trinity but right now its a money maker for alot of insiders
