Williamson County Democrats Begin Candidate Recruitment Process


by: bradenframe

( - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)

The Williamson County Democratic Party has begun the process of finding, vetting and recruiting candidates to run in 2010.  The first meeting of the CRC, Candidate Recruitment Committee, was held on Tuesday June 2nd at the new WCDP Headquarters in Round Rock.  Over a dozen interested and enthusiastic Democrats showed up tonight, eager to be involved in the very important candidate recruitment process.

The Williamson County Democratic Party has really come a long way.  We look to 2010 with enthusiasm and excitement.  Our job is simple...we must ensure that we have a credible and effective group of candidates on the ballot to join and support our first incumbent in over a decade.

No longer is the party begging candidates to run on the last day to file.  In fact at our first meeting nearly a dozen names were thrown around as "persons of interest"...in fact two prospective candidates even made to the meeting to show their enthusiasm.

So if your interested in running for office in Williamson County...let the Candidate Recruitment Committee know about it!

HD-52 Poll: Maldonado v. Daniel


by: IVR Polls

Fri Jun 06, 2008 at 02:57 PM CDT

On 6/3, I polled 489 likely voters in District 52. The results mirror the 2006 election numbers, with the Republican Bryan Daniel leading Democrat Diana Maldonado by 6.3 points. The 2006 election was a 6.2 point victory for the Republican Mike Krusee. The Libertarian candidate pulled 5.3% in that election, and while I did not specifically name the Libertarian candidate this time, 7% chose the 'vote third party or not vote' option which is higher than I typically see and higher than the same option got in the presidential and senate matchups from the same poll. If the option is interpreted as 'not vote' rather than 'vote third party', the margin increases to 6.8 points. Probably somewhere in the middle.

489 likely voters polled 6/3/2008, margin of error 4.4%

Daniel 48.0%
Maldonado 41.7%
Third part/not vote 6.9%
Undecided 2.9%

Excluding third party/not vote

Daniel 51.6%
Maldonado 44.8%
Undecided 3.1%
