The Collin County Democratic Party (CCDP) will host its official 2026 Primary Candidate Forum and Public Ballot Draw on Saturday December 13 2025 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Wylie. The event marks the kickoff of the Democratic campaign season in one of the most competitive political regions in Texas. Collin County remains a critical battleground as Democrats continue efforts to expand voter outreach and build momentum ahead of the March primary.
The forum will feature candidates running for offices ranging from United States Senate to local county positions. Participants will take part in a moderated discussion centered on the most urgent issues facing North Texas voters. The event begins with a ceremonial public drawing to determine the order of candidates on the 2026 Democratic primary ballot. The ballot draw provides a transparent engaging start to the election cycle and emphasizes CCDP’s commitment to voter confidence and organizational integrity.
“This is where our movement becomes a ticket” said Jeremy Sutka Chair of the Collin County Democratic Party. “We are bringing together the energetic diverse coalition of leaders who will carry our message of economic fairness fully funded public schools and protected freedoms to voters. A strong contested primary is how we build the momentum to win in November.”
The candidate forum is designed to energize Democratic voters introduce candidates to the community and showcase the depth of the party’s slate ahead of a pivotal election year. Media outlets and local organizations are invited to cover the event interview candidates and meet with party officials to discuss priorities plans and turnout initiatives for 2026.
