Today, the Texas Democratic Party announced that Monique Alcala will be its permanent Executive Director. Alcala brings over a decade of political, nonprofit, and government experience to the Party – including high-profile roles as a Congressional aide, on the Biden for President campaign in 2020, and most recently as the Southwest Regional Director for EMILY’s List.

The TDP’s announcement didn’t include all of Alcala’s accolades, but I looked them up. Earlier this summer, she participated in a Q&A with Rachel Maddow, which of course, is not a qualification, but we all love Rachel. So I, for one, was impressed. Aside from that, she was once acting chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia’s Latino Caucus and helped flip several seats blue. I also found several interviews and forums she participated in on YouTube.

My takeaway? She’s young, progressive, and has a firm grasp on Democratic politics. I also think Alcala understands how important getting the vote out is if we want Texas to flip.
