Rank & File Democrats Step Up For HCAD Fight-Where Are Elected Officials?

​












​A friend of the Houston Democracy Project, Dr. Audrey Nath, paid for the sign you see above. She placed a few of these signs at the early voting location at the West Gray Multi-Service Center, and at an early voting location at Acres Homes as well.

She also contributed to the Harris County Appraisal District election efforts being made by the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation.

(Here is information about the HCAD races. Here is a post about the election denier running for one of the HCAD spots. Please vote the slate you see on the sign. Early voting is over. General Election Day is Saturday, May 4.)   

Audrey called me and asked where some funds could be well-employed to assist the HCAD slate most likely to defeat the Republicans running for the three positions. We talked about it for a few minutes & Audrey proceeded.

I appreciate Audrey and I'm glad the Houston Democracy Project had a hand in injecting some money into helping win these races. At the same time, there is a lot of political money floating around for consultants and sitting in the campaign accounts of safe incumbents. Just a fraction of that money could make a big difference in low turnout races such as these HCAD elections.

Our elected officials need to step up.(An elected official who has taken leadership in the HCAD races is State Rep. Christina Morales.) Democracy is on the ballot in every election. Rank & file Democrats volunteer and donate because they want a better Harris County & because they see the clearly that the Republican Party is an authoritarian outfit. Democratic Party elected officials must aggressively join the fight. We must demand that they do so.
