A MESSAGE FROM THE ELECTIONS SPECIAL COMMITTEE

We were appointed in May by our TCDP County Chair, Pooja Sethi, to organize and administer the upcoming election of the next County Chair. Pooja resigned on May 18, effective with the election of a new Chair.

We take this responsibility seriously and are striving to make this election fair, informative, and clear. Travis County is key to electing more Democrats and turning Texas into a more just and equitable state. To build on our success, we need a strong leader. We encourage each Precinct Chair to take their vote seriously, by researching, listening, and speaking with each candidate, then casting their ballot for the person they feel is best for this important job. You may review the evolving details below.

Together, we can build the Texas we deserve!

David Chincanchan, TCDP Vice Chair & Secretary
Ann Denkler, Endorsement Committee Chair

ONLINE CANDIDATE FORUM
Thursday, June 12, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Only for Precinct Chairs, who will be sent a Zoom link to watch the forum.

This forum will be moderated by former TCDP leader Marvin Hecker, recipient of the TCDP Lifetime Achievement Award. There will not be a live Q&A. However, it will be recorded and made available to all Precinct Chairs. The questions will be designed to elicit the most beneficial information for Precinct Chairs to assess the candidates.
