BOERNE — The Kendall County Democratic Party March 8 passed a resolution that asks the Texas Legislature to amend the Texas Election Code to include a statement on the candidate application that the applicant will not “directly or indirectly support or advocate in favor of any effort on the part of the state of Texas to secede, separate or otherwise withdraw from the United States.”
The resolution also states that the TEC should specify that “if the candidate application is false at the time of the submission or becomes false at any time after it is submitted, the candidate is not qualified to appear on any ballot for a state or county office.”
This resolution will be presented to delegates at the KCDP county convention March 23 for approval, then sent to the Texas Democratic party for consideration and adoption at the state convention in June.
“KCDP and the Texas Democratic party want to affirm our commitment to the Constitution and laws of the United States,” Laura Bray, chair of the Kendall County Democratic party, said. “Candidates who file to run for office swear an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Anyone who advocates for secession violates that oath and should therefore be disqualified for running for office in Texas, plain and simple,” Bray added.
KCDP is an active, growing team committed to building a more inclusive community. KCDP states it will fight for healthcare for all, public education, the environment, voting rights, common-sense gun safety and more. For details, go to: www.kendalltxdemocrats.org/.
