I am now a Democratic Candidate for Commissioner in Collin County Texas

I'm running as a Democrat in Collin county and I need your help!!!!!

The county commissioner in my precinct passed away in June - which is in the middle of his four year term. The County Judge of the Commissioner's court, who is a Republican, appointed my opponent, Kathy Ward, a Republican, to temporarily fill that seat until the November election. The Republican party of Collin County voted for her to be on November's ballot.

Thereafter, I was voted upon by the Democratic Voting precinct chairs in Commissioner's Precinct 4 to be on November's ballot. Collin County is a Republican stronghold but with the primary election, many more Democrats than Republicans voted. This was a first for Collin County in approximately 25 years. I hope that the Democratic enthusiasm will transfer to local elections - where we desperately need change!

My opponent is unqualified for this job. Her leading achievement is being the chair of the Republican Party of Collin County. The Commissioner's court has been making bigoted statements and making harassing and disparaging remarks about certain minority populations. They refuse to properly fund any indigent health care program out of alleged fear of helping "illegals." Furthermore, the Court had to pay a year's salary to an exemplary employee - for prejudicial comments and possible lawsuit - who happened to be gay.

I am requesting your support for my candidacy. I need the help of all of all my fellow Dems in the country. Check out my website. I want to earn your vote and your support. Learn more about me here:

My condolences at attempting to achieve some honest status in that evil state.....next to hopeless.

There are 48 other states who at least "have some hope".

Texas and Flori-duh ~ NO! Both are too obviously corrupt.

But I've stuck it out and I've seen the wind change. I wish Obama would work it more in Texas - but it's a big state. Thanks again and I'll do my best to turn us Blue!

Texas is coming back from the dark side! We may or may not turn blue this cycle, but we are making progress!!!

Thanks for your support.

I emailed this to him. That's three votes for you. Him, his wife and my 18 year old niece.

Good Luck!

and it all begins with US.

I'm a precinct chair down in Dallas County. Wish I could help, but maybe I can swing by your HQ sometime! :hi:

so everytime you post, it's right there for people to check out! Good luck! :woohoo:

:)

I'll spread the word to a couple of my neighbors :hi: ; I was going to make sure they got out and voted anyway :)

Love from Iowa!:hug:

Best of all good luck to you, and I agree that Texas can turn around! If we can make the kind of progress here in Alaska that we've seen in this last election cycle, that little bitty state of Texas can surely do the same!
