Though it's true that most everyone these days complains about politics and politicians, they -- we -- do little about it. How come? There's no place for voters to come together on the things we agree on. And, the parties simply won't allow it...until now, at least.


LIV Hubs are a place for people from across party lines to discuss, debate and solve problems. LIV Hubs are being seeded as Texas is now in play between the major parties.


Former Hays County Judge Liz Sumpter Gajdos (once elected as a Democrat) is running again, this time as an independent. Luke Hayes, a LIV active member, and Liz are planting seeds for LIV Hubs.


What are voters considering splitting their tickets actually looking for?: people who won't play party politics and with big money donors with strings attached.

Yesterday, Quorum Report reported the bitter split in the top brass of the Texas GOP (by a 29/28 vote) resulting in a failure to condemn two major Republican leaders -- John Cornyn and Sid Miller for not supporting the full GOP ticket.


LIV is not a party or a PAC, but we are allowed as a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan organization to endorse candidates we believe are independent, regardless of their party.


So far, with more to come,

LIV has proudly endorsed!

HAYS COUNTY: Liz Sumter Gajdos for Hays County Judge. We already know all about Liz's independence and principles. Years ago, she fought for Bastrop, Lee, Burleson and Milam county's water alongside her own in Hays County. What's more, her Democratic opponent in this election is on a roll to raise more than $60,000 from the AI data center and development industries.


LIV has also endorsed 5 Austin City Council Candidates


District 1 candidate, Steven Brown is holding this small donor fundraiser this Thursday. He's one of the best candidates we've seen in District 1 since Ora Houston, who also endorses Brown. See our full endorsement article with all their sites here.

See the Visit home page for Katie's events today and tomorrow.

We hope to see you in Austin on Sunday, September 27 for this Forward Party Event!

Most of these City Council candidates and the very special Congressional District 10 Candidate, Caitlyn Rourk* will be speaking at the -- People v. Politics Film Screening and panels -- next Sunday. Reserve a free seat, as seating is limited.


*LIV's interest in the CD10 race is the stark contrast between Caitlin Rourk, a veteran and "diplomacy first" advocate and her opponent, Chris Gober, Elon's Musk attorney for Ameria PAC that gerrmandered CD10 for himself!
