First In Line: Texas

Something is happening in Texas.

Democrats are flipping races in deep red territory – results that would have seemed impossible even a few months ago. And for the first time in a long time, Texas Democrats have filed to run in every single state legislative district – even the reddest ones.

That's not just inspiring – it's an opportunity to reach every voter in every corner of a state that's got a governor's race and a Senate seat on the ballot.

Research shows that funded down-ballot candidates lift races up-ballot too. But candidates in the reddest districts often struggle to get the resources they need to run a real campaign. That's a problem we can solve.

First In Line is funding them – starting with these 27 candidates who are running in districts that went completely uncontested in 2024.

These candidates are giving voters a choice in places that haven't had one in years, holding extremists accountable, and building the Democratic infrastructure Texas is going to need to keep the momentum going. They're forcing Republicans to defend their territory and spend money they thought they'd save. And they're turning out voters that will lift the statewide ticket.

Our goal is $2,500 per candidate – enough for yard signs, postcards, and gas money – basics that make the difference between a real campaign and just a name on a ballot.

Something is happening in the reddest parts of Texas, friend. You can be part of it.

First In Line funds in rounds: uncontested districts first, then Solid R, Likely R, and Lean R. Once a round hits its goal, the next opens. A candidate not listed may not yet qualify for this round, may still have a primary, or may not have an ActBlue page set up.
