Dear Rural Texas Democratic Party Chairs,

As we reflect on the recent election results, it’s very clear that our journey has been challenging.

The 2024 election has shown us that Democrats are falling behind in many areas. We are seeing resignations from our party leaders at the county and state levels. IF you are thinking about walking away… please give me two minutes of your time.

Tom Nichols, in his recent article in The Atlantic, described Trump’s victory as “a grim day for the United States and for democracies around the world.”

Yet, he also reminded us that in times like these, we must “dust ourselves off, square our shoulders, and get to work.”

Democracy lives in the people, and it is our collective effort that will shape the future of our communities. We must hold together our communities and friendships, for they are the bedrock of our strength.

Our rural communities are the heart and soul of Texas. They embody the values of hard work, perseverance and community spirit. It is these values that we must harness to rebuild our rural communities. I urge you to stay committed to our cause. Your leadership and dedication are crucial in this effort, more now than ever!

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and hard work. Let’s move forward with hope and determination. Please STAY… because WE have work to do.

The 134 PAC is committed to supporting our rural communities, friends and causes. We are working hard to formulate a plan on how to navigate a way forward and will share more in the coming days.

Sincerely,
A Very Concerned County Democratic Party Chair
Carla Schoonover-Porter
