What KY Democrats Can Learn from Texas

It's not rocket science, but it's what the Kentucky Democratic Party refuses to do. Note it starts with a party chair who's an actual Democrat and grows though the base, not consultants.

Juanita Jean:

The good news is that this influx of money into Texas, unlike the last time this happened ten years ago, will not be consultant driven.  It will not end up in the pockets of same-ole, same-ole consultants who pocketed millions of dollars with diddle squat to show for it.  This influx will be used for a ground game.

In the past, Texas Democrats have not been able to turn out their base because they never knew where the base was.  And even when they accidentally stumbled across it, they had no idea how to get it to vote.

Now we have a new chairman, a new staff, and real, live, actual plans from the newly empowered State Democratic Executive Committee to make those plans happen.  This Party is no longer run by 5 guys in Austin.  This Party is run by the people elected to run it.

A big ole thank you to Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa for trusting in the elected Executive Committee and empowering Texas Democrats to be a part of turning Texas blue.
