BREAKING: New Texas Public Opinion Research data shows the TX Democratic U.S. Senate primary is statistically TIED with just 5 weeks to go before the primary election: 🔵 Crockett: 38% 🔵 Talarico: 37% ⚪ Undecided: 21%

Texas Republicans are trying to redraw the political map — again. But this time, they’re doing it mid-decade, with no new census numbers, just raw political desperation. My editorial with @expressnews.com outlines why this is a threat and what Democrats must do to fight back.

Texans are tired of hearing the same excuses from leadership when disasters turn deadly. The power grid collapses, wildfires rage, flooding devastates communities — and no one takes responsibility. Extreme weather is our reality, and it’s time we demand real, proactive solutions.

Redrawing congressional maps five years early isn’t normal. But Trump pressured Abbott to add redistricting to the special session — so he did. They’re changing the rules in the middle of the game, and Texans will pay the price.

Donald Trump is pressuring Greg Abbott to call a special session to redraw Texas’s congressional map. The goal: add more seats to protect against a blue wave in 2026. But Republicans are split on whether it helps them or opens more doors for Democrats.

Texas is heading into one of its most high-stakes election cycles in years. Trump’s back, Cornyn and Paxton are at war, and the GOP is in chaos. Democrats have a real shot to show they’re ready to govern if they can pull together a strong, unified slate. #txlege #2026midterms

The Texas legislative session is over, and Republicans delivered another wave of unpopular, extremist policies. From school vouchers to THC bans, we're seeing what happens when our leaders only listen to their billionaire donors. Texans deserve a government that works for them.

This session’s biggest wins passed because Democrats focused on real issues — water, housing, and energy. If it were up to Republicans, we would’ve spent 140 days on furries, classroom posters, and pseudoscience. One party governed. The other chased headlines.

Oversight only works when those in power want to be held accountable. After the General Investigations Committee exposed corruption tied to Abbott appointees, lawmakers stripped its power. In Texas, if you hold Republicans accountable, you get shut down.

The authors of Abundance argue that red states build more housing — and they do. But even their own examples show it’s blue cities like Austin and Houston leading the way, not Republican lawmakers. In Texas, it’s often local Democrats lowering housing costs. #txlege #politics

As we near the last week of session, hundreds of bills are depending on action in the Senate. That puts one lawmaker at the center of it all: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. As President of the Senate, the rest of the session is in his hands.

Last Friday at midnight was the deadline for second reading in the Texas House. Hundreds of bills were left unread, dead before ever reaching the floor. Who chose which bills made the cut? The Calendars Committee, the most powerful committee you might not have heard of.

Texas lawmakers just spent 10+ hours debating displaying the 10 Commandments in schools. We polled voters — it ranked last on their priority list. Our polling at Texas Public Opinion Research tells the story: Texans want action on healthcare, data security, and expanding career paths.

All roads to the White House go through Texas. For decades, Democrats could win the presidency with the “blue wall.” But the map is changing. My editorial in the @washingtonpost.com outlines why Texas isn’t just an opportunity for Democrats — it’s a necessity.

Hi Bluesky! I'm Luke Warford. I'm the founder of the Agave Democratic Infrastructure Fund, Director of Texas Public Opinion Research, and former candidate for Texas Railroad Commission. Excited to join the conversation about strengthening the Democratic party in Texas and across the country.
