The 2026 election is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of democratic governance. It is a critical opportunity to turn the tide back toward a government that truly serves the people—a government *of, by, and for the People*. Success in 2026 will depend on the strength and dedication of candidates running for office.

Preparation Timeline

Filing for the 2026 Democratic Primary is set to begin in the fall. However, specific deadlines, fees, and additional information have not yet been released by the Texas Secretary of State. These details are expected to be announced shortly after the adjournment of the 89th Session of the Texas Legislature, scheduled for June 2, 2025.

Call to Action

For those considering candidacy, now is the time to act. A successful campaign requires careful planning, understanding of the electorate, and a clear vision for the future. As the filing period approaches, let us prepare to support candidates who embody the principles of democracy and are ready to lead in 2026.

Together, we can ensure the 2026 election serves as a beacon of progress and a testament to the strength of a government guided by the will of the people.
