This year’s Texas Democratic State Convention will be held at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, June 25-26th. There is great enthusiasm on the part of the Corpus Christi community to welcome our Democratic Delegates, Alternates, and guests to this year’s convention and kick our election season into high gear.

Importantly, in addition to facilitating the business of the Democratic Party, those elected as Delegates and Alternates to the State Convention have a number of opportunities to get involved and support the convention planning process, including soliciting auction items for our Convention Kickoff Silent Auction and helping to find volunteers willing to work at the State Convention.

Texas Democratic Women (TDW), our state-wide parent organization, will hold the Women’s Caucus at the convention and help with the Lady Bird Johnson Breakfast.

Run for your local school board

School Board races are a good place to start a political career and there are several opportunities in Collin County. There are three openings to be filled on the Collin College Board of Trustees. Up for re-election are Cindy Bauge, David Hammell and E.T. Boone. There are no term limits for the nine Board members and two members have served continuously since the college’s founding 25 years ago. These are non-partisan races that will be elected in the spring. Filing will begin soon, so be thinking about potential candidates.
