Texas will continue to see its political clout grow as it gains two additional congressional seats — the most of any state in the nation — following the 2020 census, the U.S. Census Bureau announced Monday.

Thanks to its fast-growing population — largely due to an increase in residents of color, particularly Hispanics — the state’s share of votes in the U.S. House of Representatives will increase to 38 for the next decade.

Texas Republican State Legislators are stacking up voter suppression bills in the current session and licking their chops in anticipation of gerrymandering more congressional districts in their favor. Former Texas U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke, founder of Powered by the People, had a few choice words this week along with some encouraging counter-offensive moves Texans can take now.

Allen City Council: Racism was the name of the game at the most recent meeting. It started with a delightful man spending his three minutes of public speaking time using racist dog whistles to complain about protests in Allen against the death of Marvin Scott III. He trotted out oldies like protesters being a “public nuisance” comprised of “outside agitators” and that “we” pay for these streets. Just who is this “we” he’s talking about?

Collin College: The Collin College professors gained some allies in their heroic struggle to regain the positions they illegally lost. It’s against the law to fire someone for union organizing but that’s just what Collin College has done to several female professors. Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, Mike Siegel, leader of Register2Vote, Brian Golden, president of the Tarrant County Central Labor Council, and John Palmer, international vice president of the Teamsters all showed up on Saturday to headline a rally in support of the ousted professors. All are rock stars in the labor movement... Read More.

Commissioners Court: The Court received a clean audit. However, the auditor emphasized that the General Fund unassigned fund balance is “extremely healthy” and has been for well over half a year. Numbers aren’t really my thing but it sure appears as though they’re not paying as much for county salaries and benefits as they should since they have such excess funds. A while back, Hill got snippy with Judge Roach (who’s in charge of Veterans Court) because Roach wanted to pay his employees more than what county employees earn. Hill and Roach then had a tense exchange. The money for Veterans Court comes from a grant, but Hill didn’t want to hurt the feelings of county employees and his tantrum almost interfered with the program’s approval. Read More.

This election is the first time the club has endorsed candidates. The club board of directors appointed a Candidate Endorsement Committee, which sent a questionnaire to candidates and then interviewed respondents. The Committee then recommended a slate which was voted on by Club members. We urge Plano and Plano ISD Democrats to vote for these candidates.

Municipal races are nonpartisan and some races do not have Democrats running, so McKinney Dems is not endorsing candidates. However, they recommend the following as the best choices in the McKinney election.

Place 2 – Jennifer Justice

Place 3 – Janet Depuy

Place 4 – Joe Corcoran

Place 5 – Ken Hutchenrider

Place 6 – Arefin Shamsul

Place 7 – Mayor Paul Voelker
