Out with the old, in with new blue.
The day after President Joe Biden took office, the Texas Democratic Party announced a changing of the guard. Thursday, the party said in an emailed statement its Executive Director Manny Garcia and Deputy Executive Director Cliff Walker are stepping down.
Texas Democratic Party spokesman Abhi Rahman said after a combined service of 12 1/2 years, the two decided it was time for a fresh perspective.
“They’re both going to be there when Texas turns blue,” Rahman said, “but I think they were ready for the next generation of leaders to take over and to spearhead some innovative and cool programs.”

As a state senator five years ago, Cam Ward sponsored a criminal justice reform bill hailed as an important step to relieve overcrowding in Alabama prisons.
Today, the U.S. Department of Justice contends that Alabama has failed to improve its prisons, which hold about 150% of the population they were designed to house. In a lawsuit filed Dec. 9, the DOJ claims that Alabama incarcerates inmates in dangerous conditions that violate the Constitution.
