Note the filing deadlines. This is the last day that candidates can file to be on the ballot of the party they wish to be nominated by. I'll post separately on who is on the Texas ballot. Our deadline was December 14th. So if you wanted to run, you missed the deadline.

I;ll also post separately on the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primary - these are the traditional opening events of the election season. Everything before this has been the campaigning, fundraising and organization building necessary to win those elections.
