Help East TX Trio Turn Texas Blue: McKellar, Brannon & Layton
By Faith Chatham - May 10, 2018
Bill Brannon, Shirley
Layton and Shirley McKellar are three Democrats who are building political infrastructure in
part of the Lone Star State which had been abandoned to the Republicans for
decades. The poverty rate has escalated during the tenures of multi-term small
government Tea Party Republicans incumbent to the point that currently at least
30% of the households in this region live below the poverty line.
It takes hard work,
persistence, and rebuilding to change out these seats. It takes hard
core dedicated Democratic candidates on the campaign trail proclaiming common
sense people focused messages. All three of these candidates have deep
ties in their communities and are know for community services.
We cannot win statewide up ticket races without closing the gap between the number of Democratic and Republican voters in these hard to win districts.
The districts of these
three Democratic Nominees are all located in the Piney Woods Region of East
Texas. Dr Shirley McKellar is challenging Tea Party Freedom Caucus US
Rep Louie Gohmert for the US TX 1st Seat in the US Congress.
Former Texas
Democratic Party Executive Director Bill Brannon is challenging
Republican Dan Flynn for the 2nd District Seat in the Texas State House of
Representatives.
Former Angelina
County Democratic Chair Shirley Layton is challenging Texas State Senator (Rep)
Bob Nichols for the Texas State Senate 3rd District seat.
We cannot win top of
the ticket statewide races without closing the gap more in our hardest to win
Districts.
They need gasoline
money to travel through their large districts They need money for flyers and
phone banks to get our Democratic Message to people who have not been exposed
to many Democrats on their ballots for much too long. They need help to
continue building the political infrastructure necessary to attract Democratic
voters.
These are warriors who
are fighting against formidable opponents in a red part of the state. Every
voter they are able to inspire gives our statewide ticket a greater opportunity
of winning in November. We cannot win state wide races if we continue to refuse
to support candidates who fight for us in the hardest to win areas.
Please give what you
can afford to fill their gas tanks and to keep them stocked with push cards for
volunteers to distribute to voters who have not heard our message.
