We’ve said it several times over the course of the past months, but it bears repeating: Due to the nature of how districts are drawn in Texas, very few districts are considered “swing” districts. This means that if a Republican holds the seat in a particular district, a Republican in most cases will continue to hold the seat after the November General Election. The same holds true for Democrats. The significance of this is that the outcome of most elections in Texas is determined on Primary Election Day (and not during the General Election.) If you are only a General Election voter in Texas, you are too late!<\/p>\n

Our fast approaching Primary is our chance, as Vaccine Choice Voters, to make a HUGE impact on the outcome of elections across our great state. Whether it’s by helping a TFVC Champion legislator retain his or her seat, being #ALLIN for a challenger who has stepped up to run against an incumbent who voted AGAINST YOUR FAMILY last session, or assisting in an open seat race, there is a role for YOU!<\/p>\n

We have compiled ways for YOU to get involved, and we’d love to see you dig deep these last few weeks so we can see BIG victories on March 6!<\/p>\n
