“It’s clear that Texas is at the forefront of the 2024 cycle, and with support from Democratic giants like Gov. Whitmer and Congressman Allred – we’re ready to pound the pavement towards the road to November,” said Texas Democratic Chair Gilberto Hinojosa.
“In Michigan we know what it takes to win Democratic seats up and down the ballot, and we know that when we win, we protect Americans’ freedoms and look out for working families. I’m excited to be joining so many leaders who are bringing that same spirit to Texas this year.” said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
“Texas cannot afford six more years of Ted Cruz and his extreme politics. We need leaders who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and work with folks on both sides of the aisle to get things done. That’s what I’ll do as Senator, and that’s why I am so proud to welcome Governor Whitmer to Texas. She knows how to bring folks together and deliver, and I can’t wait to join her in El Paso for our convention,” said Congressman Colin Allred.
“I’m honored to welcome Texas Democrats to El Paso to celebrate all we have accomplished and all we look forward to. Each and every one of us has a duty to stand up for our freedoms in 2024, and with my friends Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Congressman Colin Allred championing our fight – we can forge a path towards a brighter and more equitable future for all,” said Texas Democratic Convention Co-Chair Congresswoman Veronica Escobar.
“Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is a fierce and dynamic leader in the Democratic Party, and we could not be more honored to host the Governor in the great city of El Paso. With her support, we’re going to rally our base so they can bring it back home to their communities,” said Texas Democratic Convention Co-Chair Sen. César Blanco.
