| House Democratic Campaign Committee -- www.texashdcc.com The House Democratic Campaign Committee (HDCC) launched a new, sleeker website today that highlights the group's mission -- winning back 5 seats in the Texas House and working to "elect and re-elect strong Democrats" to the Texas House of Representatives. On their site are also also two videos -- presumably internet videos, for now anyway -- that highlight the failed Republican policies of the past five years. I wrote at the end of the 2006 cycle about how the HDCC was the foundation of how we won 6 House seats: The story about the money contributed and spent by the HDCC is the same story told by winning Democrats across Texas: raise money early, invest in an infrastructure early, use that infrastructure to build support and prove how effective you can be, and use that infrastructure to raise money to donate to campaigns and pay for GOTV efforts of all shapes and sizes. The HDCC infrastructure worked like a "campaign Google" for Texas House candidates. HDCC staffers spent countless hours each and every day on the phones with every candidate and campaign that would take their calls (or that called them).
Led by our Texans of the year -- State Reps. Garnet Coleman, Jim Dunnam and Pete Gallego -- the HDCC is working hard again this year. Visit their site, sign up to act, and join with one of the best groups in the country working to help elect more Democrats to office. |
