December 2, 2024 -- In the face of a newly emboldened, billionaire-backed Republican Party, Texas Democrats need a leader who brings experience and a forward-thinking vision to the fight for Texas families. Representative John Bryant is that fighter and leader. His distinguished record of service and deep commitment to Democratic values makes him the ideal candidate for Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair.
Rep. Bryant’s legislative achievements speak volumes. During his early tenure in the Texas House and later in Congress, he championed landmark efforts to expand public education funding, protect our natural resources, and uphold civil liberties. His fierce advocacy for campaign finance reform and his leadership in defending voting rights underscores his lifelong dedication to preserving democracy and ensuring all Texans have a voice in the political process.
Rep. Bryant has consistently been a unifier, bringing together diverse voices to find common ground while never compromising on core principles. After his return to the Texas House, Bryant quickly built a fierce reputation for using the House rules to kill dangerous Republican legislation. His leadership during pivotal moments—such as his efforts to unite Democrats around rent relief and a larger homestead exemption for working families—highlights his unwavering courage and clarity of purpose.
Democrats have been fighting for Texas families for decades, but it has become clear that many Texans don’t know that we’re fighting for them. We need someone unafraid to use the largest Democratic bully pulpit in Texas to spread our message of prosperity statewide. It’s time to pass the torch to a fighter. This is why we proudly endorse Representative John Bryant for the Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair. His proven track record of legislative accomplishments, his steadfast dedication to Democratic ideals, and his ability to inspire unity and action within and beyond our caucus make him the leader Texas Democrats need at this moment. Together, under his leadership, we can work toward a Texas where all families, regardless of background, have the tools they need to build the lives they want. We urge all Texas House Democrats to join us in supporting Representative John Bryant for Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
