Texas Democratic Party Convention 2024, Progressive Certified Candidates

Certified Progressive Badge
The progressive picks for state and national party races.

Progress Texas has built the largest online community of progressives from across the state — Texans who share and stand up for bold progressive values. Together, we are building a statewide movement to fight for the future of our state. Electing progressives to office at every level of government across Texas is critical in helping us get there.

We want to ensure that candidates who share our progressive values get elected — particularly in the most competitive districts. So, we created a questionnaire for candidates to support, to build a cohesive movement on the issues that matter most. These are the candidates who are Certified Progressives!
