What happened

House leadership announced Friday that four House Democrats—Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), and Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.)—will travel to Dallas next week during the RNC's midterm convention. The delegation will partner with local leaders and the Texas Democratic Party for their counterprogramming efforts.

Context

The RNC's first-of-its-kind midterm convention represents a notable political event, prompting the Democratic Party to mount a coordinated response rather than cede the messaging space. By deploying House members to partner with local and state-level Democratic organizations, the party is attempting to use the high-profile RNC gathering as an opportunity to advance its own political messaging and engage Texas voters.
