Rep. Allred Must Include Fellow Elected Officials In Plans For "Most Important Election In U.S History"

​I attended the Harris County Democratic Party Convention over the weekend. 

One of the featured speakers was U.S. Representative Colin Allred who is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in the race against traitor Ted Cruz. 

(Above you see Rep. Allred at the Harris County Democratic Convention.)

Rep. Allred said twice 2024 was "The most important election in U.S. history."

Might be true. 

Given the high stakes, I certainly hope Rep. Allred spoke with Harris County Democratic state legislators from low turnout districts about how they will working to increase turnout in the most important election in U.S. history. He also had opportunity while in Houston to reach out to the 11 Democrats on Houston City Council. I might have missed somebody, but I didn't see any Council Democrats at the convention.     
 
Congressman Allred says the upcoming election is the most important in U.S. history. He came to the Harris County Democratic Convention to ask for help from the active rank & file of the party. This can't all be on the rank & file. Democratic Elected officials must be clear how they will be part of the fight in 2024.

​Active rank & file Democratic Party volunteers are tired. 

We are told every election cycle that this is the most important election ever. The central premise of the Houston Democracy Project is in fact that we are facing an immediate authoritarian threat. At the same time, you can't keep telling people everything is on the line and then just keep doing the same thing over and over.   

Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what.

    I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.
