After years of disappointment at the polls, Texas Democrats will select new party leader

(The Texas Tribune) -- After a morale-shattering performance at the 2024 ballot box, a panel of Texas Democrats are about to choose the party’s next leader, someone who they hope will put back the pieces and restore faith in its future.

The State Democratic Executive Committee will meet on Saturday to elect the successor to party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa and complete the remainder of his term. He served nearly 13 years as the party figurehead leading Democrats’ efforts to end more than two decades of Republican control in Texas.
