We’re proud to continue to stand with and we join her in demanding that Gov Abbott calls for a special election to fill the now vacant -23 seat.

Kathy is more than just our Democratic Nominee for -23 she is an every day Texas, a proud mama bear, and a community lawyer who’s on a mission to protect working-class families who have been forgotten by the current administration. We know when Katy wins, working-class Texans win, that’s why it’s incumbent that we fill the now open seat so Texans in TX-23 have a strong representative who cares deeply about them and their families.

If you can give her a follow, donate $5 to her grassroots campaign, and join us in demanding a special election to fill -23!

🚨ATTENTION VOTERS🚨

We are aware that several voting sites are experiencing issues with the voter check-in system. Voting machines are operating properly, however, some locations are requiring manual check-in, which may cause delays.

Voters are reminded that they may vote at any voting site and are not required to vote at a location within their precinct.
Here’s a list of voting sites with fully operational poll pads that may allow for quicker check-in.
