SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — Texas Stonewall Democrats, the LGBTQ+ Caucus of the Texas Democratic Party, has spent decades advocating for the rights, representation, and political empowerment of LGBTQ+ Texans. The caucus has worked to ensure LGBTQ+ voices have a seat at the table, supported the election of LGBTQ+ candidates and allies, and strengthened grassroots organizing efforts across the state.

​

It is in that spirit that Texas Stonewall Democrats announce the unanimous endorsement of Texas Democratic Party Chairman Kendall Scudder and Vice Chair Shay Wyrick-Cathey for re-election.

​

“Under Chairman Scudder’s leadership, the Texas Democratic Party has launched its first-ever $30 million coordinated campaign, ensured that every State House and State Senate race is contested, decentralized party operations by opening offices across the state, and eliminated more than half a million dollars in debt inherited from the previous administration,” said Robert Vargas III, President of Texas Stonewall Democrats.

​

“Chairman Scudder, alongside Vice Chair Wyrick-Cathey, is ushering in a new era in Texas politics, one in which Democrats are truly positioned to serve as a strong and credible opposition to a Republican Party that has held power in Texas for more than three decades,” Vargas added.

​

The board of directors and officers of Texas Stonewall Democrats are proud to be the first caucus to endorse both Chairman Scudder and Vice Chair Wyrick-Cathey for re-election. The caucus encourages delegates to the Texas Democratic Party Convention to support leadership focused on progress, inclusion, grassroots investment, and meaningful change by casting their votes to re-elect Chairman Kendall Scudder and Vice Chair Shay Wyrick-Cathey.
