Well, first of all, thank you guys very much for
being here.
I mean, it really means a lot to us.
Really not means a lot to us candidates.
There are three things that we struggle here with Texas.
One is low voter turnout.
Two is the gerrymandering, and three is making sure we
have to have candidates to uh run for office.
Now, I got good news for you from there.
First of all, uh in Denton County, we have a
three out of five state house races run unimposed last
time.
This time, we do not have any Republican in any
state house seat throughout all Texas not being uh unimposed.
So we have candidates.
So we're making progress there.
Jurymandering's a problem too, but I've got good news for
you there, they can only redistrict every 10 years.
And both California and Texas are the two top states
in the country with the largest growing population spikes.
And as our population increases, as we begin to develop
more homes here, as more people move here, that works
against their gerrymandering because eventually this makes their gerrymandering outdated
over time as our population increases.
Now, all that said, and voter turnout is still something
that we struggle with, but it's not something we're gonna
fix overnight, but we're gonna fix it over time.
The unit's still young.
I don't really know how these things are gonna happen
quite yet.
You never know.
I remember back in 2016 how I really thought Hillary
was going to win.
I remember back in my primaries and home offer, I
was being a little pessimistic.
You really never know how things are gonna turn out
until early the end of the night or sometimes even
the next day.
But I look forward to seeing what happens, and I
want to thank you all for coming out.
Well, I'm not no matter what happens, the fight is
not ending.
We are not a deep red state.
We're a non voting state, and we're very much a
purple state past that.
If we can get everyone out to vote every single
time, we will flip blue eventually over time.
Thank you.
