This year, we don’t have a Democratic candidate in House District 114 (our local house district), but there are a number of very competitive races in our area.
One of the most exciting is the race for House District 96, where Chris Turner is the Democratic standard bearer. Texas Monthly, in fact, recently called the seat the Democrats’ ‘best hopes for a pickup’ and a leading GOP consultant calls it a ‘battleground’ race.
Chris is a terrifically impressive candidate and, if you are interested in meeting him, he will be having a fundraiser next Monday, May 19, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the home of Leslie MacLean (5714 W. Caruth - just noth of Inwood and Lovers). Tickets are $100.
Democrats are only five seats away from having a majority in the Texas House. Races like this are absolutely vital not only because of the impact on state and local issues but in order to ensure that Democrats have a voice at the table after the next Congressional redistricting (when Texas is slated to pick up between 4-5 seats in Congress - more than any other state).
Come and support a great candidate.
