Our Story

IMG_0269_edited_edited.jpg

Stephanie and Claire founded Blue Horizon Texas in 2021, after both running for Texas State House in heavily Republican districts in 2018 and 2020.

 

They both lost. Both times. But they did better the second time and pushed their opponents to the left. Neither incumbent sought re-election in 2022.

 

Their experience campaigning in long-held Republican districts, and discussions with many other candidates who ran in similar districts across the state, revealed systemic and structural gaps in the support networks for the new faces of Democratic and progressive candidates for state and local office. They resolved to work to fill the gaps to give others a better shot at success.
