There still are a few tickets left for this year's Johnson-Rayburn Dinner on Wednesday, April 16 at the Westin Galleria.
For those who haven't been before, the dinner raises money for local state house races and has been an important source of funding for local candidates. The Republicans now have 79 seats in the Texas house of representatives (down from all-time high of 88 seats after the 2002 cycle). With a six seat pick up, Democrats could take back the majority. Succeeding in this task is critical, not only because of the impact on state and local issues, but because Texas likely will pick up four seats in Congress after the 2010 census. Increasing our strength in the Texas house means being able to have a voice in how those seats are allocated. The good news is that the there are a couple of very competitive local races right in our neck of the woods with really super candidates.
As if that weren't enough of an inducement, former Congressman Charlie Wilson (of movie fame) and Mike McCurry, former spokesman for Bill Clinton, will be among the featured guests at this year's dinner.
Tickets are $100. If you are interested, contact Michael Li at 214-675-6879 or by emailing michael.chihpoh.li@gmail.com.
