Hi, I’m Shadi Zitoon and I’m running for Texas Senate District 12. I’m a native North Texan, in my day job I'm a quality analyst, and I’m also a long-time SA member.



I am fighting for:

    Expanding Medicaid
    Ensuring funding to Planned Parenthood
    Increasing teacher pay
    Universal Pre-K
    Legalizing medical/ recreational marijuana and using the taxes to fund our schools

I am in a primary battle and need all the support I can get for March 3rd. We can always use donations and volunteers. The main thing, especially in this area, is getting people out to vote. If I can get them to go vote and they know who I am, we will win.

Donate Now!

P.S. I have also been recommended by The Dallas Morning News!

If you are in the area I'd be happy for you to come out to an event I am at and meet me.

I am hosting a Conversation with the Candidate Feb 18th at Heim BBQ in Fort Worth.

I am also going to include a picture of my nice gerrymandered district here so people can see if they live in it.

Compared to some other American districts, this looks kinda reasonable.

I'm posting this part of the Dallas Morning News endorsement because everybody needs to see this:

quote:

We don’t know where his opponent, Daniels, stands on the issues because he didn’t attend our interview, hasn’t completed a questionnaire and didn’t respond to a request for information.

He is a former president of the Arlington Heights Neighborhood Association in Fort Worth who records show was sentenced to three years in prison in 2000 for bank fraud and money laundering.

He made news back then for gaining permission to turn his 3,431-square-foot historic Jenkins-Daniels House into a bed-and-breakfast.

Zitoon is a better choice.

What's up dude, you're actually running in my district! Best of luck to you - my part of Carrollton is pretty heavily Democrat judging from my experience working the polls in the 2018 election.

I do not yet. I am working on getting it set up but I doubt it will be done before the primary.

I wanted to learn more about Mr. Bank-Fraud-And-Money-Launderer, and saw this happened a few hours ago:

State Democratic party officials have determined that Randy Daniels is ineligible to run for the party's nomination to Texas Senate District 12.

So congrats on your primary victory!

Gah, I'm kicking myself because I completely forgot about your BBQ thing this past Tuesday :( Ahh well, while Iill vote for you in the primary, I'm planning to move later this year to somewhere along the 75 corridor, depending on prices and dart availability, well outside 12.

I'm happy with the results. I'm going to take a couple of days to recharge, then we start working towards November.

I think having the primary was a good thing overall. I learned a lot of things that I can do better for the general.

Nothing is doomed friend. 10-15 years ago if you asked anyone what virginia would look like it would be "GOP hellscape". Now look at it.

I will definitely let you know.

Denton and Tarrant County both had more Democrats vote in the primary than Republicans. Of course, my district is gerrymandered as hell so there were a couple of % more Republicans in my district, but not a big enough number that I think we can't overcome it.

Granted, Michelle is more on the moderate side, but she shot her shot and got that bastard out and I have to respect her for that.
