May Meeting Recap: Jessica Cohen, TCDP Chair

Our May 4th meeting featured Jessica Cohen, the newly elected County Chair of the Travis County Democratic Party. It was a packed house at Los Reyes Mexican Grill, with members eager to hear from the new TCDP leadership.

About Jessica Cohen

Jessica brings years of Democratic organizing, coalition-building, and grassroots leadership to one of the most important local party leadership roles in Texas. As County Chair, she is focused on:

  • Year-round organizing (not just election-season mobilization)
  • Stronger neighborhood-level engagement through precinct infrastructure
  • Building a more visible, accessible, and effective Democratic Party throughout Travis County
  • Empowering local leaders and expanding outreach to underrepresented communities

Key Takeaways

Jessica emphasized that the path to winning in Texas runs through sustained, year-round community organizing — exactly the kind of work Far Northwest Democrats does through our monthly meetings and Super Precinct structure. She encouraged all members to stay active in their precincts and to recruit neighbors to get involved.

Our next meeting is August 4, 2026 (we skip July). Join us at Los Reyes at 6:30 pm — or from 6:00 pm if you want to grab food before the meeting starts.
