That’s encouraging to hear.

Can you share any links about the strategy changes you think will help?

"We're calling it the 'Organize Everywhere' tour," Martin told ABC13. "It's a simple premise that if we're going to win throughout this country and get back into power, we have to organize everywhere. We're visiting red states, purple states, and blue states on this tour. And Texas really is the future of the Democratic Party. This is such a critical battleground state as we move forward in the 2026 elections -- of course, the 28 election cycle and beyond."

But you don't have to go on hypotheticals, he has a long history in Minnesota, and supporting candidates voters want translated to wins.

It's not even that overtly progressive, he just knows it's easiest to win if voters already like the candidate and policy. And voters like charismatic candidates with progressive policy stances.

And Texas really is the future of the Democratic Party.

This boondoggle again. They need to stop calling Texas a battleground state. It is too gerrymandered to be considered a proper battleground.

Texas only could become one after the GOP decides to abandon oil and gas. They're not about to.

The only other feasible way to break the gerrymandered districts and get Texas blue would be by sweeping New Deal Coalition type social democracy policies specifically improving working class conditions at the expense of billionaires and corporate boards. And this is about as unlikely as the GOP ditching oil and gas.
