Brandon T. Jones: The BTJ Agenda

A few shots from ColorPalooza in Old Town!

Most folks spend their Sundays relaxing and preparing for the week. Not me, I am out at the Flower Mound Democrats Candidate Forum. I am here to support Erum Ali in her run for Council. She continues to impress with her knowledge and her depth of service to the Ciry of Lewisville.

While I have your attention I want to shout out Dr Staci Barker is running for Lewisville Independent School District. She is dedicated and it is vital that we keep her on the school board .

Finally, I don’t know this candidate but I have watched her in two forums now and I would tell my friends in Flower Mound to give Claire Harris for Town Council. The other candidates just don’t come close to her in experience.

I came out tonight to support my friends Erum Ali and Ronni Cade who are running for Lewisville Ciry Council. Listening to this candidate, Adrian Doko (sp) stated that he is the Chair of the Lewisville Vision 2035 Committee!

Dude is trying to puff up his resume. As one of a number of Co-Chairs for the Vision 2035, what he told the FM republican club is factually inaccurate! Honesty and integrity are integral to serve. Vote for Ronni and Erum this spring!

This is not how to get the electorate excited!

Less than seven days after Democrats unleashed a wave of whoop ass to their republican counterparts in elections that stretched across both coasts, seven Democratic Senators and an Independent who caucused with them basically did what Trump knew they would do…they gave in. Their rationale is not entirely a bad reason; they want to help federal workers get paid during the holiday season and to ensure SNAP benefits are reactivated for our most vulnerable citizens.

And while their hearts were in the right place, it appears they are getting played by the administration and its sycophants across the aisle. And what did they get? A promise to maybe in December to have a vote on healthcare subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare. Sounds reasonable, until we all look at the people that we are dealing with, who break their word because their master tells them to. This is not your father’s Senate, where they worked collegially together to get things done; the other side serves at the pleasure of the current occupant of the White House.

I assume their political calculus is that if they do get a vote and it loses because the republicans vote no, the American people will be angered and shocked by this and want to vote them out. Here’s the thing, we won’t be shocked at all! Here is the miscalculation that was made. Several people want to see a Democratic party with a backbone and the ability to articulate what is at stake. Also, an all too familiar pattern of giving in has been established.
Here is the worst part, Schumer thinks that he is slick, yeah he voted no, but two of the people who voted yes are in Democratic leadership, (Durbin & Cortez-Masto). So one of two things is true, either the Democratic leader can’t keep his caucus aligned because he is feckless or he is running an inept hidden hand strategy to save face and is the force behind helping open the government.
Several progressives are calling for the heads of the eight Senators, and to be honest, I can’t blame them. By the end of December, we will see in real time how this plays out. So here are the Senators that we need to replace and their next election:
Dick Durbin & Jeanne Shaheen are retiring with elections for their seats held in 2026. In 2028, Schumer, Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, and Hassan will be up for re-election. In 2030, Rosen, King, and Kaine’s seats will be up. Although Kaine isn’t eligible for re-election.

Curtis J. Cornelious Mayor of Little Elm told the crowd about his journey into public service. He gave some insights to help others who may be thinking about running for elected office.

I will do a video on my thoughts on the debate afterwards But, please go check out the websites for both Democratic candidates and see which candidate’s message speaks to you
