Monitoring the Situation (12/17/24)
This week's vague (and not so vague) political posts.
This week:
Denton County GOP officially makes the Texas Ethics Commission’s delinquent filer list.
Other notable delinquent filers include:
Bexar County Democrat Party
San Antonio Young Democrats
Texas Young Democrats PAC
Travis County Republican Party
Grapevine Republican Club
Republican Party of Bexar County
See the full list here.
Cartoon porn connoisseur, Mark Ivanyo of Republicans for National Renewal is hosting a party during the youth-targeted TPUSA AMFest event this weekend.
His cohost is Nico Delgado, a 17 year old Arizona Republican.
For those who forgot:
A recently elected Texas house rep. seems to have a social media stalker. More on this later.
Latinos United for Conservative Action (LUCA) recently endorsed Rep. Dustin Burrows for the Texas House Speaker race. You can read their full press release here.
Many people we spoke to have never heard of this group, and nobody we spoke to knew what they actually did, but we did get some screenshots from their internal group chat where chairman Tony Renteria admits a Rep. Burrows endorsement would be based off his personal friendship with Burrows. LUCA leadership also threatened to remove members who discuss the Speaker race.
Sources close to LUCA told us that at least six people in Texas have resigned their positions from LUCA. The only remaining members seem to be located in Lubbock where, conveniently, Rep. Burrows represents.
LUCA is Latinos United for something something (for Conservative Action, maybe??). Honestly, I know several of them & they are great people & motivated. Sad that they're having this internal issue. They are fairly active in North Texas.
