The Democratic National Committee is deploying tens of thousands of volunteers and ramping up direct voter outreach in Texas as part of a new national organizing program aimed at countering Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting push in the state.

Announced on July 28, ahead of a final redistricting field hearing in Texas, the effort includes sending more than 250,000 texts to voters and preparing 30,000 grassroots organizers to reach persuadable Republican and independent Texans in key districts.
