Kendall Scudder Elected Chair of Texas Democratic Party

AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Democratic Party is proud to announce the election of Kendall Scudder as its next Chair. The son of a paramedic and corrections officer and graduate of Sam Houston State University, Scudder’s elevation to Chair continues his longtime efforts as TDP Finance Chair to invest in Democratic candidates across Texas and help them win tough elections.

"I am honored to serve as Chair of the Texas Democratic Party," said Chair Kendall Scudder. “The future of this party is bright, the stakes are high, and there’s no better moment than right now to get Texas Democrats back in the business of winning tough races. As we do that, we can’t leave any community in this state behind – we need to build a Texas where opportunity is not a privilege, but a promise, for all 30 million of us.”

Scudder was elected Chair during the State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC) meeting today, March 29.

The Texas Democratic Party extends its deep gratitude to former Chair Gilberto Hinojosa for his years of dedicated service, and his work laying the foundation for a stronger Democratic movement in Texas.
