(Community Matters) update to previous posting:
As I mentioned to KT – I didn’t intend for this conversation to go anti-anyone. Hoping to have a pro-Castro conversation. I’ve supported Lloyd Doggett in the past for his many contributions. I’m supporting Joaquin in the future for his vision, energy, given the demographics of the new district, and because I believe the future of our state rests in the hands of his generation – we’ve got to promote tomorrow’s most capable leaders
He’s exactly the type of political leader we should be promoting in Texas to turn this state blue, to engage younger and Hispanic voters.
Good points Eugene. This is more about the direction of the Democratic Party in Texas, especially for Hispanics. It’s time we start building a stronger bench that will carry down the ballot. In order for the bench to grow, you have to provide opportunity for the younger candidates to emerge.
