Blue Texas

Fight everywhere. Fund everywhere.

Texas isn’t a red state.

It’s a non-voting state.

You can change that.

The Stakes: High

With Texas Republicans at the helm, Texans have lost freedom, safety, power … and hope.

But the Texas GOP clings to power, with a strategy rooted in outrageous gerrymandering and targeted voter suppression. Texans wonder: is anyone going to do something about it?

Answer: Yes. We are.

The Strategy: Fight+Fund Everywhere

Too often, statehouse races go uncontested and unsupported – especially in gerrymandered districts. Democratic voters feel abandoned and forgotten, while GOP nominees get free passes. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. That’s why we need to fight and fund everywhere.

But that’s just one half of the problem. Texas GOP nominees get a super-boost from voter suppression tactics that make it harder for Democrats to vote. That’s why we need a 24-7-365 program to protect – and empower – voters.

Working together, we can make sure every voter has a Democrat to vote for, every vote is counted … and no Republican gets a free ride.

The Solution: You + Blue Texas

The GOP strategy is a one-two punch of gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Blue Texas is the counterpunch: our community supports the Democratic nominees for Texas statehouse and 24-7-365 voter protection programs.

No more unsupported races. No more forgotten voters. No more suppressed voices.

No more free passes for the GOP.

You can make that happen. Starting right now.

The Impact of Fighting+Funding Everywhere

Running Nominees Everywhere Matters

Just having a nominee for state house on the ballot increases the vote share for the top of the ticket by 1.5%.

But in 2022, 41 Texas House Districts had no Democratic nominee on the ballot.

Over 8.2 million Texans live in those 41 districts.

Funding Nominees Everywhere Matters

There’s more: Funding nominees boosts turnout, too. In fact, funding a challenger at $0.36 per eligible voter increases turnout by 1%.

But in 2022, another 34 Texas state house Districts were underfunded – averaging just $15,786 to reach 200,000 people.

Those 34 Texas state house Districts include another 6.8 million Texans, who probably didn’t hear from their cash-strapped Democratic nominee.

Running Funded Nominees Everywhere = Massive, Data-Backed Impact

That’s over 15 million Texans left behind – either because there wasn’t a Democrat to vote for, or that nominee didn’t have what they needed to run a real campaign.

Texans Left Behind

Here’s the good news:

Reaching those 15 million forgotten Texans is as simple as running and supporting Democratic nominees for Texas state legislature …

But Texas is ranked the toughest place to vote in the country. So our Blue Texas community supports voter protection, too – to make sure that every vote counts.

By joining, you’re making sure we fight+fund everywhere.

Fighting voter suppression everywhere matters:

When the Texas GOP passed S.B.1, they added new vote by mail requirements. Because of those new rules, over 25,000 people’s votes – 13% of vote-by-mail voters – were rejected. But voter protection staff supported by Power The Vote stepped in and brought that rejection rate down from 13% to 3% statewide.

Power the Vote’s founders ran the Georgia Democratic Party’s voter protection efforts in 2020. The votes their team saved were more than Joe Biden’s margin.
