Texas Democratic Party

Founded in 1846, Texas Democrats continue the march towards a state as great as its promise. A fair shot for all, that’s what drove Democrats to build this great state, and that is what drives us today.
Democrats believe that our state and our country are stronger when we fight together — that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot to get ahead.
