Texas Democratic Party

The state’s most populous counties are seeing a significant drop off from four years ago. That’s despite Texas having more registered voters this time around.

Texas Democrats are hoping to recapture any statewide office for the first time in 28 years in this year's midterm election. Mary Beth Rogers was on the front lines the last time Texas elected a Democratic governor.

The party is focused on winning in November. Democrats hope the current energy they’re seeing in Texas will continue and help them be successful at the polls.

Erica Lawrence, a Montgomery County resident and president of the Democratic Club of The Woodlands, acknowledges that winning takes time. But, she believes it’s possible.

The convention is taking place as statewide polling shows Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat running for governor, has been closing the gap between him and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
