welcome to the NOT weird side of the internet
RUN FOR SOMETHING! OR THE OLD RICH RACIST MISOGYNISTS WIN.
Came in a surprisingly close 3rd for a political noob in 2024 for Texas Senate District 30 primary.
Go to https://freyfortexas.com/ for the guy who won the run-off. I actually like him, not even just a case of voting D all the way down!
If you want to run for something in Texas...
https://www.bluehorizontexas.org/ <-- these guys have great resources and a burgeoning community.
https://www.the134pac.org/ <-- they know what they're doing and have rural contacts. And money for fees if it's not a statewide race!
https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/candidates/index.shtml <-- this is the government site that shows yah actually sign up to run for Texas statewide races, and it's set up so a racist boomer can figure it out, you definitely can. Also has instructions for local races.
Also HMU. I got 29% in a three way race my first time trying, but importantly, did all the paperwork (myself!) without getting fined! Let's make sure Texas has ZERO unopposed races.
