On a Friday night, three parents sit down to talk about the future of Texas politics — and the one county that could change everything. Allison Campolo, Chair of the Tarrant County Democratic Party, joins Mission: Texas to explain why Tarrant — the last major urban county in Texas still voting Republican — might be the key to finally flipping the state.

The episode opens on a hopeful note: how Tarrant has quietly built momentum, made measurable progress, and become one of the few places where Democrats are actually growing cycle after cycle.

We also discuss how Democratic candidates like Taylor Rehmet are helping to reshape the political map. (This conversation was recorded before the November 2025 special election, where Rehmet went on to advance to a runoff in Texas Senate District 9.)

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Tarrant County is ground zero for Texas Democrats
• The local power players shaping Fort Worth politics, including County Judge Tim O’Hare
• How data, infrastructure, and long-term investment can rebuild trust
• How we can include parents and kids in politics
