Jorjo Vasquez

I am a legislative staffer. I like Progress Texas because it is my one stop shop every single morning to get the news that prepares me for the day.

I feel like every day when I listen to Progress Texas, I'm learning how to respond to this Republican assault on our education, on our healthcare, on our entire way of life.

You guys are doing the amazing work of putting together all this news and leading the resistance. I just can’t thank you enough for doing all the hard work that it takes to go over all this huge, amazing state, and do the work you do. 

 

Judy Webb LeUnes

My name is Judy LeUnes. I am a TDW member and have been for a long time and I also serve on the Texas Democratic Party, Congressional District 10.

So what I like best about Progress Texas is I served on the SDEC with Kathleen and then I found her again in Progress Texas. I am also a donor of Progress Texas, so I really believe in what you all are doing and I think Kathleen is wonderful. 

 

Julio Acosta

So my name is Julio Acosta. Everyone across Texas, and really every progressive across the U.S. needs to know about Progress Texas and support Progress Texas in any way that they can.

It's one of the two podcasts that I listen to every Monday through Friday.

Y'all keep us aware of anything that a progressive in Texas needs to know. At the end of the day, we need to do everything we can for us to live lives where we ALL thrive. 

 

Kate Rumsey

My name is Kate Rumsey and I'm a criminal defense attorney.

I love Progress Texas because we need to meet people where they are and Progress Texas is messaging to people where they are at and on issues that are important to me.

 

Kevin Muñoz

I am Kevin Muñoz and I'm an artist in Austin.

I like Progress Texas because it encapsulates the voice and opinions of many that don't typically have an outlet for their voice and opinion.

 

Gretchen Goldstucker

Hi, I'm Gretchen, and I like Progress Texas because they are working to protect our children.

They're making sure that Texans get a fair shot in the legislature, in the media and beyond.

You're not going to see change with every move you make, but at the next election, you'll see all of this work adds up and we can flip Texas. Keep it up. 

 

Marquette Green Scott

Hi, I'm Marquette Green Scott, and I'm a big fan of Progress Texas.

I'm the Democratic nominee for Texas Congressional District 22.

Democrats across the state of Texas are fired up.

We are ready to win in November.

 

Odus Evbagharu

Odus Evbagharu, the Democratic nominee for House District 135.

I love Progress Texas because it's the spoken voice for progress that we're trying to make here in Texas.

And it has a lot of fantastic candidates on as well, too, and people in the movement that's doing the work. Go Progress Texas, go, and let’s turn Texas blue. 

 

Sara McGee

Hi, my name is Sara McGee.

I am the candidate for Texas State House District 132, out in West Harris County.

I love Progress Texas because the more people that we have talking about democracy and moving Texas forward, the better.

And Progress Texas is one of the best in the game for that purpose. I have never in my life seen more energy on the ground around elections in this moment that we’re in right now. 

 

Stephanie Bord

I'm Stephanie Bord and I'm running for the Texas House, District 126.

Progress Texas is awesome.

I love that you guys have those shorter daily podcasts so that we can get updates all the time.

And then I love the longer in depth ones, where you give some more information and just keeping track of what's going on in this state and how we can stay up with the Democratic Party and the things going on here.

 

Tyler Smith

My name is Tyler Smith and I'm running for Texas House District 138.

I love Progress Texas because Progress Texas speaks to everyday Democrats in the State of Texas.

If you're ready to get in the fight, if you're ready to fix our healthcare system in the State of Texas, join me and Progress Texas to turn Texas blue and take the fight to Greg Abbott.
