Late last week we issued our Second Ground of Filing Fee Grants to six inspiring candidates running in red districts across the state.
Fred Medina for Texas House District 14
Desiree Venable for Texas House District 17
Jennifer Lee for Texas House District 55
Steve Schafersman for Texas House District 82
John Lehr for Texas House District 127
It took a few days to confirm filings, process applications & crunch numbers, but tonight we are thrilled to announce the Third Round of Blue Horizon Filing Fee Grant Recipients. We connected with these candidates in the last three days of filing — and six of the eight on the last day.
Alex Bar-Sela for Texas House District 4
Mike Midler for Texas House District 16
Stephen Wyman for Texas House District 20
Stephanie Bassham for Texas House District 30
Mariana Casarez for Texas House District 43
Tiffany Drake for Texas House District 62
Noah Lopez for Texas House District 84
Timothy Gassaway for Texas House District 87
Though our filing fund was running near empty, we knew we had to help sponsor these candidates. But doing so came at a cost: We called six candidates who had applied for funds early and asked whether they could scrape together enough for the filing fee until we could help them.
We want to honor that commitment. Can you help us do so by making contribution now for our final six? Anything you can chip in would make a huge difference.
