Delia Parker-Mims, the Chair of the Denton County Democratic Party, is feeling the buzz of new energy in Texas politics. She believes that this renewed energy will have a positive impact on down-ballot candidates in the upcoming election.
When asked about Kamala Harris’ choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her VP running mate, Parker-Mims described the duo as the ‘2 Live Crew, but the good ‘2 Live.’ She believes they bring a vibrant energy to the ticket.
Parker-Mims, who took over as chair in 2021, sees Walz as more than just a safe pick. She believes he will help attract a different demographic of voters and play a crucial role in the strategy to win.
According to Parker-Mims, the energy shift following Harris’ nomination has been undeniable. She describes it as a revival, bringing new life to the political scene.
She is confident that having Harris and Walz at the top of the ticket will benefit Democratic candidates running in Texas, providing a boost to their campaigns.
In planning their get-out-the-vote strategy in Denton County, Parker-Mims and her team were considering excluding President Biden from their materials. However, the recent surge in energy has changed their approach, with a focus on promoting Harris and the Democratic candidates.
She envisions campaign materials with Vice President Kamala Harris’ smiling face on the front and a list of Democratic candidates on the back, promoting the message of saving Democracy through active participation in the election process.
