Happy Hour 174: Our 2024 Candidate Endorsements!

There’s one week left until the early voting starts for the November 5 general election, and there’s still lots of work to do to make sure that every Texan is informed and ready to vote! We’re doing our part to increase turnout, including expanding our voter navigation website, GoVoteTexas.org, to Texas’ top, vote-deciding languages now available in Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, English, and Spanish! Progress Texas has built the largest online community of progressives from across the state — Texans who share and stand up for bold progressive values. Together, we can build a statewide movement to fight for our future. That starts with electing progressives at every level of government. Yet, when most races do not get major media attention, we’re here to help put the spotlight on your neighbors who are standing up to serve your community. Here’s a rundown of those who applied and passed muster on top issues like voting and civil rights, abortion and reproductive freedoms, pledging environmental protections, strengthening public education, gun safety, and more. But before you get started, be sure to search which candidates are running to represent you by state house and senate district (HD/SD), along with other statewide seats. We further encourage you to share important resources with your family, friends, and network on getting out the vote and supporting these candidates through November!
