Honored to welcome @MrKendallscudder, Chair of the @TexasDemocraticParty, to this week’s Legal Lens podcast!
Scudder traces Texas’s history as a former Democratic stronghold that powered some of America’s biggest progressive accomplishments—from the New Deal and Great Society to putting a man on the moon and producing the last balanced federal budget—and explains how losing Texas meant losing the party’s “steel backbone.”
He walks through the state’s current political landscape: Texas ranking 47th in voter turnout, the enormous number of non-voters who could swing elections, and the high-stakes redistricting fights that pushed Texas legislators to break quorum in 2025 to block extreme maps.
