Texas is growing faster than anywhere else — and that growth means more electoral power. As blue strongholds lose seats, the road to protecting the White House must run through the Lone Star State. If we do not flip Texas by the next census, we risk losing the White House for a generation. “Mission: Texas” dives into the strategy, people, and stories needed to flip the state. Hosted by two Texas lawyers and parents — a former candidate and a long-time organizer, both with military roots — we mix mission-driven focus with a dose of pop-culture fun. Think of us as your Democratic club while you cook, commute, or go for a walk. And don’t worry: this mission is serious, but it’s definitely not impossible.(Viewpoints expressed are those of the hosts and not of their employers or of the U.S. Department of Defense)
