Our Governing Board

Please scroll below to view our SDEC and DNC Members from Texas.

Our governing board is the State Democratic Executive Committee — known as the SDEC — which carries on the activities of the party in communities across Texas and conducts party business in committees. The SDEC is composed of leaders from Texas’ 38 congressional districts elected at every State Convention and official caucus representatives elected by their caucuses/caucus affiliated organizations, as well as the Party Executive Officers who are elected at Gubernatorial Year State Conventions or appointed by the SDEC.

Our Democratic National Committee Members — DNC Members — from Texas are representatives to the DNC and are elected at Presidential Year State Conventions or nationally via the DNC by DNC caucuses/rules or DNC Chair appointment. State Party Chair Kendall Scudder and State Party Vice Chair Shay Wyrick Cathey are also automatic DNC Members. State Party Executive Officer (Chair, Vice Chair, Vice Chair for Finance, Secretary, Treasurer) regular elections are at Gubernatorial Year State Conventions.
