Tarrant County, we are SO excited to announce the news from last night's vote at our quarterly County Executive Committee meeting:
Patrice Jones' nomination as Vice Chair was ratified by ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the Precinct Chairs in attendance.
As we have previously told everyone, we are just elated she has decided to serve. Patrice is a social entrepreneur, a constant community advocate, a precinct chair herself, an election judge who serves every election with distinction, and she is a relentless brilliant part of Tarrant County who never stops helping those around her. She always brings receipts and she spends an incredible amount of time making sure folks around her know what's going on and why.
We are truly thrilled to have her join our Leadership Team at the Tarrant County Democratic Party.
Please help us congratulate her and welcome her to TCDP as our new Vice Chair.
And if you don't know her well enough yet, or you want to hear *even more reasons* that she is fabulous, here's a short clip of a Patrice review from the 817 Pod.

To quote Mr. Merritt from a previous post,
"The question was never just guilty or not guilty.
The question is — how does this system value Black life?"

Today, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court let hate overshadow the truth, and killed my resolution recognizing three decades of service by the HELP Center for LGBTQ+ Health.
Let me be clear about what happened.
For more than 30 years, the Help Center has helped thousands of Tarrant County residents access health insurance, HIV prevention services, counseling, and critical health care resources. Last year, the Help Center delivered $70 MILLION in medication to prevent HIV without spending one cent of your taxpayer dollars. They are to be commended, not vilified.
I brought this resolution forward because health care is a HUMAN issue, not a partisan one.
It was about recognizing service, honoring results, and acknowledging an organization that has made all of our residents safer.
But Tim O’Hare and my Republican colleagues chose to make health care political.
We've seen this pattern before under Tim O'Hare's leadership: erase people, ignore their contributions, and pretend entire communities do not exist. They spread misinformation, dragged children into the conversation, and distorted the work of an organization that does not serve minors.
To the staff, volunteers, health care professionals, and advocates at the Help Center: I see you. Your work is not erased by this vote, and neither are the families whose lives you have changed.
Tarrant County deserves leaders who recognize service, respect results, and refuse to erase people for political convenience. That's the kind of leadership I will bring as your next County Judge.
