How Annie’s List and Vote Save America Are Rewriting Texas Politics

Isabel Longoria isn’t giving up on Texas—and neither should we. In this episode of Taco Policy, Kat Vargas of Howdy Politics sits down with Annie’s List Executive Director Isabel Longoria to talk about what it really takes to win in Texas. From Annie’s List’s new partnership with Vote Save America to a bold 2026 strategy focused on local races, rural organizing, and recruiting women candidates, Isabel shares how Democrats are building power for the long haul.

They dive into the data behind where progressives can win, the imposter syndrome that holds women back from running, and why putting your name on the ballot—win or lose—matters more than ever. Plus: tacos, Texas trivia, and why building bigger tables (not gatekeeping them) is the only way forward.
