I am so grateful to @POTUS for showing us what true servant leadership looks like. In a culture of individualism and narcissism, he draws from a deep well of solidarity and decency. What a legacy. What a man. Thank you President Biden.

Most importantly, I will lead this office with integrity, humility, and independence from the toxic partisanship that has characterized O’Hare’s leadership. Thank you to all of my supporters and my family who join me in this mission to serve the people of Tarrant County.

As a small business owner with a Ph.D., I have both the management experience and technical background to lead our County Clerk’s office efficiently and effectively.

I have decided that the best way to serve Tarrant County is to become your next County Clerk. As a longtime champion for transparency in county government, I have seen firsthand how badly we need fresh leadership, accountability, and accessibility in this office.

My mission is to defeat our extremist County Judge Tim O’Hare and all of his cronies and enablers. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to end O’Hare’s reign of terror and turn around our county government so we can put effective governance for the people first for a change.

After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to run for Tarrant County Clerk in 2026, instead of seeking the office of County Judge. This is the right decision because this campaign has never been about my personal ambition.

It’s official! I just filed to run for Tarrant County Judge, the chief executive of one of the largest counties in Texas. I’m ready to show the door to extremist Tim O’Hare and his billionaire backers in 2026. Join me and donate at LydiaforTexas.com!

Tim O’Hare has: ❌ Drained $100 million from our schools ❌Thrown civic leaders out of public meetings ❌ Gerrymandered district lines (sound familiar?) Tarrant County deserves better. THAT’S why I’m running for County Judge. Let's send O’Hare packing → secure.actblue.com/donate/lydiafo…

I’m a comic and I’ve actually spoken at political rallies for years. There is real work you have to do to prep. The message is the most important. What is the goal? Then you add jokes to further support the overall goal. When you’re at a rally, you’re there for the candidate.

@profsamperry Also, as a pastors kid, I’m amused by self-identified pronatalists who say they’re stepping up to personally make up the gap who have like 3-4 kids. Growing up, a “big” family in church was at least 5-8 kids. This meme applies…

@profsamperry Yes exactly. Conservative academics are not the problem, it’s the creepy folks who only want more of *certain* peoples babies. Like the weirdos who ask women on twitter how many kids they have and what race the father is. ?!?!?

@profsamperry To clarify, these books aren’t the weirdos, I’m talking more about the popular discourse and people like El*n.

@profsamperry Following. It’s really a shame that pronatalism has so many weirdos speaking for it. Since there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about these issues that aren’t weird and rooted in things like preserving the welfare state, inter generational caregiving etc.

The era of tolerating mistreatment of airline passengers with disabilities is over. Today, our department is announcing a $50 million penalty against American Airlines for numerous serious violations of the rights of wheelchair users. cbsnews.com/news/american-…

Highly recommend this @MaryEllenKlas deep-dive into the rise of one-party state governments, and the lack of competition. bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-… Almost half of state legislative elections are not even contested!

I'm telling you... this is the sleeper issue of the race... The Harris plan to let Medicare cover home health care in lieu of having seniors deplete all of their savings to qualify for Medicaid is huge for folks in this situation.
