| The Grand Prairie Democratic Club is teaming with the Irving Democratic Club for a candidate forum on October 16th. The focus will be initiatives made in the Dallas County Judicial system and Public Safety by Democratic office holders. Speakers include Judge Carter Thompson, Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Dr. Theresa Daniel, Chairperson of the Dallas County Democratic Party Advisory Committee and member of the Texas State Executive Committee.
The Democrats will also welcome Judge John Creuzot and State Representative Kirk England, who both recently switched from the GOP to the Democratic Party. "We are wanting to emphasize the momentum we established in 2006, by welcoming these office holders as new Democrats," said Harvey Jackson, president of the Grand Prairie Democrats. "The clear trend in Dallas County is toward the Democratic Party and that trend will continue in the 2008 elections."
In addition to the candidates on the agenda, other Democratic candidates are expected to attend as they often court grassroots support and gather signatures for places on the primary ballot at such events. The forum will take place on Tuesday, October 16th at the Irving Public Library Auditorium, at 801 W. Irving Blvd in Irving TX 75060. The forum starts at 7:00 PM and RSVP's can be made at http://democrat.meet... or by contacting George Chamberlain at 1-888-855-9112. |
