Help a Democratic Local Candidate in Athens, TX!
By Andrew Dobbs
As Karl-T can tell you, local races matter. The election of his dad to the Fredericksburg City Council means the first toehold for Democrats in that part of the state in a long time. Now there is an opportunity to help Democrats turn the tide in a county that is progressively growing more Republican.
Athens, TX votes for a new mayor next weekend and the race features a Democrat versus a Republican. Randy Daniels is a life-long Democrat and a community leader who is set to start turning back recent Republican gains in Henderson County. Henderson County elected a Republican County Judge by less than 100 votes last year and electing Randy Daniels will go a long way to helping Democrats gain ground in East Texas.
If you are interested in helping elect a good Democrat, the Daniels campaign needs blockwalkers next weekend, May 28, from 9 or 10 in the morning until the polls close. If you can make it out to Athens and help in the race, please contact SDEC Committeeman Dr. Dennis Teal at (936)398-9411.
Let's win this one and start turning Texas blue!
