If we are going to defeat dumb John & elect a Democrat for #TX31, then you two have to work out your differences. @donnaimamTX quit blocking constituent voices on social media. @DrChristineMann don’t spend the next 95+ days either silent or criticizing the Democratic candidate.

Hi Matt! I’ll continue to speak up about *any* candidate or elected official who refuses to engage with constituents, regardless of party. The people she has blocked deserve a voice, and I have a platform I can use.

I truly appreciate your precious support and I’m sure this is not what you want to hear. But the solution is for @donnaimamTX to *do the job* that she should be doing, since she is seeking power over our lives, not silencing the people she is supposed to be representing.

And there are many. Several dozen. Young people looking for a home in the party. Activists who need to know what @donnaimamTX will do for their causes. Marginalized constituents who need to hear her thoughts on their issues.

And I’m always going to side with the voiceless over the powerful. We should all be willing to hold our reps and candidates accountable. @donnaimamTX is showing us what kind of rep she will be. Bad candidates become bad public servants. We have an opportunity to fix this now.

But it won’t happen if we remain silent when those seeking power think that they have no responsibility to answer to us. @donnaimamTX has an opportunity to reverse course and apologize. She will choose to take it or she won’t. I have no access to her to make that happen.

So I’ll continue to use my platform to pressure her to do the right thing.
