This is not going to work out.
Cameron Rollwitz, a member of the extreme left wing of the Socialist Party, is running for Texas Senate in the Bay Area, Senate District 11. Maybe he thinks following the new Mayor of New York, who is a socialist, will work in deep red SD11. It’s not. It never will. Voters in SD11 are not like New York voters or Austin voters. Many of them are ignorant MAGAts and scare easily especially when approached by a socialist or “progressive”.
Rollwitz doesn’t have any money. He has $107 cash on hand for a race that will require $1 Million. Rollwitz can talk a great game. Calling for “Texas Medicare for All” which is not only a bad idea, a pipe dream, it is a legal nightmare. Bernie Sanders has tried to get some type of M4A for 40 years and has failed. Medicare is a federal program, not a State program. It’s not that the idea has merit it’s that Rollwitz has absolutely no political skills or experience to spearhead this effort and make this a reality.
The talking points of the election season is the cost of living in the district. Health insurance, auto, home, are skyrocketing making it difficult to buy a home or to sell a house or to buy a house. Groceries continue to rise and yet he is running on high speed rail, internet access, and unattainable ideas like M4A. WTF?
Rollwitz has been able to convince a few organizations to endorse him over his opponent including The Caucus and the far left Houston Progressive Caucus. Rollwitz voting record is questionable because I can’t find his voting record. His comments and signs are concerning. Is he a Democrat or not? It really doesn’t matter. If by chance he would win the nomination he will never get a chance to debate his republican opponent and if he did he would embarrass the crap out of the party. He is not a serious candidate and deserves nothing from his opponent.
Rollwitz should drop out and take his own advice. Go build your own party and keep us informed.

Bay Area Houston 
your socialist boogie man narrative is so annoying and maybe counter productive to your intentions. I’m psyched about Shannon Dicely! Why not just talk about how great she is, endorsements, $ donations, etc. etc. honestly, this kind of narrative that you are spouting may make Dicely potential supporters think that she is ANTI socialist. which I doubt is true. she wants people to have nice things. She wants a texas that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest people. and that…. is basically “the socialist agenda”. take deep breaths, john, and let the idea that we can have nice things pour over you like a fresh spring breeze. 🙂
Yes but running as a socialist on unattainable ideas will never end well unless you are in austin.
