A few weeks ago, on a post-election call with multiple candidates who ran in the 2022 election and lost, several of them said they never heard from the State Party one time
not until two weeks before the election, when they got a phone call for money

(2,030 posts)In many parts of the state, its dysfunctional as hell. Good candidates cant even get backing because its a waste of effort and money to even try. Might as well be a coffee club.
But in some areas, like in San Antonio, theyve been kicking ass and taking names.
