The Brown List

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

While we wait for Marcus's report this afternoon, I thought I might take a run though the Andy Brown public supporter list to see who he had lined up in this seemingly non-existant primary race (any supporters of Donna Howard or Hugh Brady and Duffy Keever, neither of whom I've heard anything about for quite a long time, please e-mail me at karltm-at-gmail-dot-com or tell them to Step Up.)

I'm sure I'll miss certain people (and there is always the chance that some of these people have the same name as those I know) but here is a short list of who's who and why they may be important.

Things to note? Strama crossover support is high, as are elected officials, and many of the people that have an interest in the neighboring HD 47 race. The info after the jump...

The Honorable Ben Barnes

Jeff Brooks
*(Kelly White's Political Director, nice!)

Cass Robert Callaway
*(Got his business card at DemFest, forgot to e-mail him back!)

Larkin Campbell
*(UDems Presidential Candidate and awesome Postermaker)

Liz Carpenter
*(LBJ's Press Secretary)

Rick Cofer
*(Puppetmaster of all things Gregg Knaupe, Gregg's rumored to run in HD 47 as well)

Mandy Dealey
*(Place 3 City Council Candidate, first round UDems endorsed)

Matthew Dempsey
*(Why does this name sound familiar to me?)

David Holmes
*(Originally rumored to run in HD 47, supposedly now supporting the rumored Speight)

Lowell Lebermann
*(Wonderful man, $$)

The Honorable Lee Leffingwell
*(Ol' Man Leffingwell as the UDems song goes, our favorite City Councilman)

The Honorable Garry Mauro
*(His son lurks these pages at times)

The Honorable Glen Maxey
*(Data Guru, Man About Town)

Ambassador Stan McLelland

The Honorable Ed Miller

Bettye Nowlin
*(High dollar donor, Friend of Strama, Beautiful House)

Catherine Robb
*(Of the LBJ legacy, also a Friend of Strama's Intern Program)

Ambassador Arthur Schechter

The Honorable John Sharp
*(BOR Banter Fame)

The Honorable Rose Spector
*(Nominee for HD-122 Special Election which Byron and I volunteered for)

Dennis & Emily Speight
*(Finance Guy for the TDP rumored to be running in HD 47)

Kate Volti
*(Leader in the Austin Progressive Coalition that I worked with once on campus)

Marc & Suzanne Winkelman
*(Calendar Magnates whose daughter I worked with on Strama's campaign?)

Amb. Schechter is a major donor here in Houston, having also served as Metro chairman and, of course, Ambassador to the Bahamas at the end of the first Clinton era.

Man, I'd like to be the Ambassador to the Bahamas. You know that's got to be sweet.

Matthew Dempsey is me! Haha. I used to work for Congressman Sandlin, I am friends with Byron and Katie N., um...I'm not sure if you and I have ever meet KT, but I hope to someday! ;-)

Oh, and I've been involved with TYD since about 2003!

Ring a bell?

I was going to say Matt Dempsey is my faviorte Executive Director for Texas Young Dems, but he beat me to it. Return Cass's e-mail, he's a great and smart guy in Ft. Worth

Posted by: Mike at July 25, 2005 06:50 PM

Hot damn, Dempsey, from TYD, I remember now. I don't think we actually met this spring but I remember you up at the front table. We'll meet up one of these days and jaw some.

Posted by: Karl-T at July 25, 2005 10:28 PM

Yup, that was me at the sign-in table!

I'm actually lucky enough to live in HD 48 (well, lucky depends on how you look at it) and I'm really excited to work to kick Baxter out!

Andy Brown is NOT a candidate of District 48. You can't fool anyone that he has a chance in the general election. He is a candidate of the Austin Democratic establishment. Voters are going to think "oh great another Ann Kitchen moving into the district trying to get my vote." How hard is it to find someone with ties to all areas of District 48? Andy Brown will get Tarrytown energized, but wait, it already is energized. Andy Brown couldn't find Westlake or Lago Vista if you gave him a map and a compass...

I love how Aggie Chick offers a solutions/alternative instead of just complaining...
