Dear Democrats: The Harris County Democratic Party recently announced the names of over 100 candidates who intend to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party to be our candidates for judicial office in the 2010 elections. You can find a list of those candidates by clicking on the “2010 Elections” button on the panel on the left. Getting all our fine Democratic candidates elected in November 2010 is one of the primary goals of the Harris County Democratic Party. To accomplish that, we intend to start this summer organizing for the 2010 elections. We need to get started now in order to complete in 2010 the work we began in 2008 of returning Harris County to the Democratic column – turning Harris County blue. We need to expand our already formidable electronic communications (e-mails, websites, social networking) to be enable us to reach even more folks. But they cost money. We need to have staff in place to begin the arduous work of organizing to reach out to 410,000 supporters who voted in the 2008 Democratic primary. But that costs money. We need to hold events to help candidates obtain signatures on nominating petitions and to introduce themselves to the voters. But they cost money. But that’s the very reason we h ave to redouble our efforts and do even more than we have done in the past to get the Democratic message spread and candidates who embrace Democratic values elected. We’re well on the way to reaching our goals for Harris County and the State of Texas. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Gerry Birnberg

Come march with the Harris County Democratic Party and Democratic clubs at the annual Houston Pride Parade, Saturday night, June 27th, beginning at 8:45 p.m. The Pride Parade is the second largest in Houston and traditionally attracts more than 100,000 viewers. The theme of this year’s parade is OUT 4 JUSTICE and the Harris County Democratic Party will show we are OUT 4 JUSTICE by electing Democratic judges who are committed to doing justice. A big showing of Democrats marching with our entry sends a powerful message about the strength of the Democratic Party in Harris County, so we hope you, and the Democratic clubs and organizations with which you are affiliated, will join us and help us send this message. We will be communicating our assigned staging location and staging time via the Turn Texas Blue newsletter and further postings on this website. Contact Martha Huebel (mahuebel@gmail.com, 713-540-7510) for further details or to answer questions.
In an effort to Do It Again in Twenty-Ten, HCDP called on Harris County Democrats to join us at the “Hot Dogs and Hot Candidates Party” this past weekend to meet the 2010 Democratic judicial candidates, sign petitions and enjoy some hot dogs. As to be expected, Harris County Democrats did not disappoint! Last Saturday, several hundred people congregated in the C.W. Williams Middle School Cafeteria to meet and sign petitions for the 100 Democratic judicial candidates on the 2010 ballot. Each candidate must have hundreds of signatures on their nominating petitions to qualify them for a place on the ballot and need our support to get them there. Candidates were dispersed throughout the cafeteria where the event was held ready to meet with voters, answer questions, and collect signatures. Attendees enjoyed free hot dogs and refreshments along with lively conversation with candidates and fellow Democrats. In addition to the many dedicated supporters, there were also several former and current elected officials in attendance. State Representative Sylvester Turner, former City Controller Leonel Casitllo, and Harris County District Clerk Loren Jackson were all present at Saturdays party. Thank you to all who came out and made the event a resounding success. Not to worry if you were unable to attend; details about our next petition signing party will be forthcoming so please stay tuned! We will need your help in collecting signatures to ensure qualified Democratic candidates have a place on the ballot in 2010.
