WFAA: “It might just be the toughest job in Texas politics, leading the state Democratic Party.
And after its shellacking last November, the party is looking to reinvent itself.
Enter Kendall Scudder, who thinks he’s the right person, at the right time, for the job. And Scudder wants to completely reform the party, not just tinker along the edges.
He said he’s spent his first week as Chairman of the Texas Democratic Party trying to figure out how to rebuild a more efficient and nimble organization.
“Democrats, and I think really anybody that’s involved in government, they tend to kind of saddle themselves with bureaucracy. And I’m a private sector guy. I want an organization that can move and be responsive and be helpful to people that are on the ground,” Scudder told us on Inside Texas Politics.”
