It's important to note that the FEDDs as an organization does not endorse in primary elections. It is one of the only rules we honor, based on our mission to turn neighbors into engaged citizens, and encourage all citizens called to run for office. But FEDDs organizers are politically active and many are precinct chairs who may make public endorsements individually. The FEDDs Operations team selected the candidates to spotlight in this event. The other orgs are not to blame so come at us here if you have issues. ✌🏻
BONUS FUN! Friends at North Texas Dems, Old East Dallas Dems, FEDDs, and other org partners will be gathering IN PERSON FOR A VIEWING PARTY of this Zoom program at Grace UMC. Get there by 6pm for the program. 6pm, 4105 Junius
Please message us here to get more involved. We’re seeking volunteers to grow FEDDs events, operations, communications, training, and fundraising for the 2026 primary and midterm election cycle!
