Democrats in Williamson County got their first look and list to Houston Mayor Bill White, at today's Taking Back Texas event in Round Rock. White is a candidate for U.S. Senate to fill the seat now held by Kay Bailey Hutchison. He spoke to a room full of Democrats in Williamson County today, laying out his record of service first as legislative assistant in Congress, then as Deputy Secretary of Energy in the Clinton Administration, Chair of the Texas Democratic Party, and now as the Mayor of Houston.
White was first elected Mayor of Houston in 2004 and has been reelected twice with overwhelming majorities, and bipartisan support - over 85% both times - and has an impressive record of accomplishments while in office. He had a great line in his stump speech stating,"I know the difference between victory and landing on an aircraft carrier", which brought the house down.
He also stated he's raised more money, just on the internet, than all the other candidates that are running for this office combined. He's got an impressive campaign so far, with a Central Texas coordinator already in place. Of course they would like anyone who is interested to go his web site, www.BillWhiteForTexas.com, and give the campaign your email address to stay informed.
Thanks to the WCDP Events Committee for planning this great event. We also understand that a similar event in Williamson County is being planned with John Sharp for next month. It's another sign that Democrats all over the state have taken notice of the Democrats success in Williamson County and know it's an integral part of the Democrats drive to "Take Back Texas". |
