Texas Democratic Nominee for Lieutenant Governor in 2022 Will Run Again, but as an Independent

Mike Collier, the Texas Democratic Party nominee for Lieutenant Governor in 2022, will run for the same office in 2026, but as an independent. His petition drive will be very difficult. No independent has qualified for the ballot for a statewide state office since 2006. He will need 81,030 signatures, and no one who voted in the March 2026 primary will be able to sign.

  1. Abolish ballot access laws and the censorship of petition quotas. Let candidates solicit votes and let voters decide. Ballot access laws are deliberately designed to entrench incumbents of two particular political parties and make those parties state-sponsored agencies.

  2. Let parties solicit votes and winning parties appoint officeholders, replace them at will until the next election.

  3. Too bad Liberator Trump is not a tyrant. At least the AZ 666 SPAMBOT would be deprogrammed if he was.
