Y’all really showed up this March election. The two Democrats got almost *50,000* more votes than the Republican County Clerk! That's wild! Something BIG is happening here in Tarrant County!

I'm honored to be the Democratic nominee in the race for Tarrant County Clerk!

I can't tell you how grateful I am knowing I've got the trust and support of thousands of folks across our community. Let’s get to work to win in November!

Hey Tarrant County! March 3rd is the Democratic Primary, and I’ll be on your ballot for Tarrant County Clerk! I’ve been endorsed by the AFL-CIO, the Cowtown Democrats, the Tarrant County Young Democrats, and many other community leaders. I’m ready to win new leadership in November.

ICE agents just executed a man in Minneapolis in the street. The Trump administration is lying and blaming the victim. This is state-sponsored terrorism. And elected Republicans can end this any time they want. Hold every elected Republican accountable if they don’t immediately speak out.

Most importantly, I will lead this office with integrity, humility, and independence from the toxic partisanship that has characterized O’Hare’s leadership. Thank you to all of my supporters and my family who join me in this mission to serve the people of Tarrant County.

As a small business owner with a Ph.D., I have both the management experience and technical background to lead our County Clerk’s office efficiently and effectively.

I have decided that the best way to serve Tarrant County is to become your next County Clerk. As a longtime champion for transparency in county government, I have seen firsthand how badly we need fresh leadership, accountability, and accessibility in this office.

My mission is to defeat our extremist County Judge Tim O’Hare and all of his cronies and enablers. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to end O’Hare’s reign of terror and turn around our county government so we can put effective governance for the people first for a change.

After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to run for Tarrant County Clerk in 2026, instead of seeking the office of County Judge. (Thread)

This ruling is absolutely wild and nakedly partisan.

'Why won't you help me?' Pregnant women and their babies are dying in jail Dozens of pregnant women locked up in county jails described excruciating pain, saying their cries for help were ignored as they miscarried or gave birth into cell toilets or on filthy jail floors.

Pregnant women and babies are dying in jail due to medical neglect and cruelty. And Tarrant County’s dangerous jail features prominently in this national story: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Please amuse me with your X screenshots of fake β€œAmerican” accounts spreading xenophobia that have been revealed to originate from another country. It never gets old.

Big win for democracy! Trump’s gerrymandered map can’t be used in 2026 midterms. That’s why we have to keep fighting for fair electionsβ€”in Congress and in our local communities. Help me defeat our extremist County Judge in Tarrant County, who is rigging the maps and closing polling locations!

It’s official! I just filed to be on the ballot for Tarrant County Judge, the chief executive of one of the largest counties in Texas. I’m ready to show the door to extremist Tim O’Hare and his billionaire backers in 2026. We’re going to answer to the people of Tarrant County. www.LydiaforTexas.com!

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrantsβ€˜ dignity and religious liberty.

β€œThey must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

Sick violent fantasies

Sick violent fantasies

Once again, the chair of the Tarrant County Republican Party, Bo French, is out there posting racist, violent fantasies about people losing food assistance. When is County Judge Tim O’Hare going to denounce the leader of his party? We can’t let people with this sick worldview run our county.

Tim O’Hare has:
❌ Drained $100 million from our schools
❌Thrown civic leaders out of public meetings
❌ Gerrymandered district lines (sound familiar?)

Tarrant County deserves better. THAT’S why I’m running for County Judge. Let's send O’Hare packing β†’ secure.actblue.com/donate/lydia...

Tarrant County approves sharp reduction in polling locations amid outcry during public meeting β€œI am speaking here today to ask you not to adopt this proposal of polling locations..." Lydia Bean said.

In North Texas, we had to rally to stop polling locations from being closed in Tarrant County: www.wfaa.com/video/news/l...

Just a casual little reminder for all the elitist finger-pointers out there that labor unions are more popular than vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, or Taylor Swift. So good luck with that.

It’s been a terrible week for democracy. But on a positive note, Hasbro has re-released the theme song for Jem and the Holograms…and it’s even better than I remember from my childhood! bleedingcool.com/tv/jem-hasbr...
