Terry Garner, Chairman of the Navarro County Democrats rallied those in attendance at the monthly meeting of the Navarro County Democratic Party last Tuesday.
“It’ll take a lot of work, but we can do it, but we can win some of the races on the ballot, if we work together while Republicans are fighting amongst themselves,” he said.
Garner introduced Keenen Colbert who won the Democratic Primary race for the Texas Senate District 2.
“This young man received over 64,000 votes in the primary, he can win,” said Garner.
Colbert said he decided to run because no one else was willing to step up, “If not me than who,” he said.
A formerly active Marine, the 32-year-old Colbert, said he is committed to listening to every constituent and representing everyone in the district.
He noted improving infrastructure protecting water resources, improving education and access to healthcare as well as affordability and combating inflation, would be priorities if elected.
Colbert said he never aspired to be a politician but as a lifelong Texan he feels the desire to represent everyone.
“I want to meet people where they are and talk about the issues, most importantly, I want to stress that voting is important and should be done wisely with intention,” he said.
Texas’s Senate District 2 includes all of Kaufman, Navarro Rockwall and Van Zandt Counties as well as portions of Collin Dallas and Ellis Counties.
Colbert will face incumbent Republican Bob Hall.
