Nearly 800 people signed onto an open letter supporting Kendall Scudder’s leadership of the Texas Democratic Party this weekend after three dozen Texas Democrats urged the chair to forgo reelection over alleged operational failures and a “hostile work environment” fostered during his tenure.
“At a time when Texas Democrats must expand the map, rebuild trust and invest in long-term infrastructure, continuity of leadership and vision matters. Abruptly reversing course risks undermining the progress that has been made,” reads the response letter, which was addressed to Scudder. “With only one year — and just a primary cycle completed — we believe more time is needed to make a fair assessment of your chairmanship.”
