Last week, the Texas Democratic Party launched our "Meet the Statewides" campaign. Each week between now and the State Convention in June, we will be featuring one of our ten statewide candidates. The campaign is designed to introduce our candidates to Texas Democrats, and provide an online resource for future communications any Democratic groups, clubs, blogs, or activists wish to produce for our statewide candidates.
Each week's "Meet the Statewides" campaign will feature the following:
A brief video introduction from the candidate
Candidate bio page
An issue piece about the candidate/campaign, written by the TDP
An op-ed from the candidate
Links to the candidate's website and social networking pages
ALL communications will be duplicated in Spanish-language format
Our first candidate we featured was Keith Hampton, running for the Court of Criminal Appeals Place 6. Keith is a well-experienced, well-qualified candidate running for a seat on the Court made most famous by the controversy surrounding Sharon Keller, and her irresponsible actions as presiding judge of the Court.
Embedded below is Keith's introductory video. Be sure to visit our website to learn more about Keith Hampton, and check back every week between now and the State Convention as we continue to introduce your statewide candidates for 2010.
